Ive also had the missus nudge' wake up theres an axe murderer outside!'

Sleeping bag zip stuck so i bounced out.......head first straight into the hanging light bar in the centre of our tent,fell back onto the airbed....which deflated and finally managed to crawl out ready to fight the world!

To find.........Nothing!..... to be honest if Freddie Kruger had been there he would have died laughing by the time i arrived!

Did once have one of the kids wake me in the middle of the night to tell me a man had been staring through the window,now that scared the Sh*t out of me!

Camping in Wales (in the glorious pre-children days) I woke up to a really strange noise which I obviously thought was some kind of wild-boar or a crazed psycho as you do. Woke up husband in panic and he then spent (I kid you not) 10 minutes trying to get out through the double zips, cursing all the time. He eventually stuck his head through a tiny gap he'd managed to make (wouldn't it be a bad position to be in with a tent psycho, your head exposed and your body trapped in the bedroom?) to discover it was a giant hedgehog sitting in the frying pan eating our sausages.

Husband then grunts and rolls over and i'm saying get up and put it out so he spends ten minutes shoving it with foot under tiny gap of tent side because he couldn't be bothered to unpeg it...happy days!

I think i've stayed at the same site as you many years ago. The first night we were there we heard 'that' noise. My OH stuck his head out into the porch to find a hedgehog eating our breakfast croissants. I wouldn't have mind so much but he had cr*pped on anything he hadn't eaten, so the whole lot had to be binned!

The following morning we saw the signs around the site telling us to lock everything away or it would be munched by the hedgepigs! Doh!

we locked our tent once at the V festival, said that people would see if anyone slashed it, but to be honest there wasn't really anything valuable in it!

We never lock it normally though, we hope other people will leave our stuff as we would theirs, plus anything valuable is taken out with us.
