I'm looking at your meet thinking 'ah, that would be fun! But I think that you are all braver and more hard core than me.



Well, I'm going (unless work intervenes) and I'd hardly describe myself as brave! In fact, I regard myself as a fair-weather camper. As to 'hardcore' well I obviously can't comment on a family website LOL

Nothing to stop you attending the Hopleys UKCS meet - I am sure you'd be made very welcome. Details are in this thread

Come along and join us!

Your break sounds great, so pleased that you enjoyed yourselves, and also gained another camping enthusiast.

Better that the week we spent with 2 of our young grandchildren, we did enjoy the week, but not the paddy field (camp site) we were on

I must say, even with crap conditions - you can't beat camping really. My friend has actually rung to ask when we are going again , she now wants to do a festival next year also ? Alsoa good few other friends want to join the party and come camping. Now, that raises the problem of a same sex party doesn't it? Does that still count if everyone is WELL above the age of consent and knackered?

So loved reading your post. A party in a static too! lol....all good fun. Very jealous in a good way tho! I don't know any of my girlie mates that would be like your friend as thier reluctant to camping is at any time of year let alone autumn/nearly winter! I'd be up for it, but don't want to go solo camping. Good for you 2!

It always rains on tents. Rainstorms will travel thousands of miles, against prevailing winds for the opportunity to rain on a tent.

Yes it was a C&CC site, I dont think we will be going there again very soon lol.

I agree though camping is fun, I am 71 and usually use the trailer tent for October half term, but this year wanted to recapture my youth, so bought a tent, I am now beginning to question my sanity lol
