Welcome to the wonderful world of camping!

We are new to camping this year for 2 reasons

1, the cost of the static caravan we normlly go and stay in for 1 week in august every two years rose astronimically and we just couldn't have afforded to go.

2, i was given a trailer tent.

I'd never fancied the idea of camping before and for the 1st day i completely understood WHY i never did.  It poured with rain all day so everything got wet as we pitched.  The groundsheet leaked cos we were pitched right over a puddle.  The ehu blew up so we had no heating to dry out the wet stuff so we spent an hour making a new one.  As we'd never camped before we had the outer over the inner so that got wet that night.  I had a brilliant nights sleep and was so snug and cosy.  But the next day the rain cleared up and the sun came out and we got everything dry and from then on we came around to the idea that yes we could make camping work for us.  We went away for the weekend in Sep and it was warm and sunny and soo relaxing for us.  The kids and dogs loved it!

I've grown up with camping since I was about 3 or 4. I guess it just get's in your blood when you first do it. I love camping now and love going away.

I'm 19 and usually have trouble finding people to go with me, as my mates arn't into it. Ahhh well - upto them I guess.

But I love camping, and even If I was a millionare I wouldn't stop. I'd just by myself a new tent and a heater! lol
