SEVEN TENTS!!!!! my god do you use them all???

Anyway this afternoon i couldnt contain myself any longer we went out and bought the brekenridge deluxe! I fell in love with it the other day, and with hubby being so big i think we need the extra headroom in the bedroom!!  and with my initial thought about the extra storage space and what you had said we did decide to go for the bigger one!

we will be going away for weekends as well as longer hols, but i think having 3 boistrous boys that run everywhere and fall over everything we defo need the bigger one!

im sooo excited now i cant wait to get it out and have a go! (patience is not one of my strong points!)

thanks for all your input guys!

Great choice, nice tent, good that you went for the bigger one. You won`t regret it.

Seven tents is easy, btw. Big Vango Colorado, smaller Gelert Cadiz 5+2 for weekends, three pup tents (was given two of these) Vango Force Ten from the camping days of before kids, Sunncamp Utility tent. I still nominally own a 70`s trailer tent that lives in a friends garage and which she uses as marquee/overflow sleeping area in summer/shop unit at craft sales (!). Oh, and we have a beach shelter tent as well.

I`d like a trailer tent again though. One day Hubby will have come home from work and I`ll have knocked a hole through the back wall so we can store one in the back garden.

HEE HEE I'm soooo chuffed and really excited, i cant wait to go camping now!!!

Now Claire, al you have to get now is the equipment !!! that will be fun !!! lol

Val....... you have Seven tents........one for every day of the week then !!!! LOL

We've already bought some stuff, but still got bits to buy- i love spending money!     i bought a halogen heater aswell at the time i thought it was a good idea, but now i'm not so sure, i mean its not gonna be any good if we cant get electric on the site is it?  and i'm not convinced its gonna be safe with the kids or the tent!! you dont think it'll melt the tent do you?????

Claire

No Claire,  i haven't tried it out yet, i suppose i'd better hey? dont want to camping and find out the things no good!!!!

Claire

Hi Claire.   Welcome to the funny farm.  Now you've just got to fill your new home from home!   Buying the tent was the easy part! 

More advice.... dont do what we did and go mad.  We have stuff we're never likely to use like a collapsible larder and wardrobes.  Tried them out and found them to much of a bind.  Its all about trial and error.

The most important thing to remember to take with you...... your smiles because you'll be using them the most!
