We watched a group of 4 trying to put up a tent - it seemed to be taking ages and then it became apparent that there was obviously something broken so my friends husband went over to offer help/gaffa tape or whatever... and was given short shrift.   Not sure why? maybe because we watched them struggle for over an hour before we volunteered to help? but we didn't want to intrude... and to start with it was quite amusing watching them struggle (as almost novices its somehow satisfying not to be the only ones chasing a flysheet allover the pitch).

I think tensions run high with men who cant get things erected real quick! (tents that is) They should have taken your friends help and got set up real quick. I suppose it goes back to the cave man instinct, ggrrrr. me set up cave! me light fire! need woman now!

Thanks muchyounger! 36 today and loving it.

Oh how dissapointing that some replies above want the BMW owners to be the arses on site instead of a van of chavs! You should never judge by looks! It sort of proves the original point of this post "look too posh to camp". Sorry to have ruffled any feathers. Will just keep mi head down from now on. TC LYLY.

Cheers to all.

Maybe it's your own insecurities I mean naming a thread....Too flash for camping? Come on.

Think you should look inside before assuming that it is everyone elses problem. Anyway it's only an opinion and I'm more than likely wrong...

Hope you get on better next time

Maybe your right! thats why I said I was confused. One weekend away was amazing getting on with everone playing games etc, next weekend on a site in the lakes no one smiling, and like a similar post on here about bad weekend camping no one happy on site. Perhaps your right its just me, or perhaps I just hit the wrong site, or perhaps it was just bad timing. However I did feel it was worth mentioning just to see if anyone else had come across similar things.

Cheers to all, whatever happens were always camping!
