Friends we went away with years ago bought a brand new dome tent, got to bottom of snowdon and realised they hadn't got the 'spider' fitment that went in the middle of the poles

Never did find it when they got back either, they never went camping again!

Then found I was doing it on the local dogging area

Not on a campsite but in our local camp shop.....

Browsing around the tents, and tripped over the guy lines, legs up in the air on a rare day when I was wearing a skirt.  I quickly jumped up as a lady dashed over to help, assuring her I was fine, with 2 inch scrazes and stones stuck to my legs. My daughter thought it was hugely funny while my husband pretended he wasn't with me.  Got a few sympathetic smirks from the staff (who all know me) who must have seen it on their security cameras....

We keep embarassing one of our daughters reminding her that when she was little we used to sit her outside the tent when she used her potty.She didn't seem to mind then.

Oh yes, hubby's 40th, got all our friends to camp on his  Dad,s farm, supplied lots of small tents- came to put up our own - only had poles- Vango Diablo 400- thought everying fit in boot well- was so frightened to tell me -phoned from tent field to tell me admittedly calmed down a bit by walked a mile- the only time I ever let him pack(2006) And to make matters worse,  the hottest weekend of the year- 4 of us in a 2 man tent- went to buy more beer and one son threw baby's sun hat out of car window- spent 20mins on hard shouldre of duel carriageway looking for it- bitten to death, mouse ran up my leg-YES I KNOW IT WAS FRIGHTENED OF ME- went back to car and child was waving it- IT WAS ALL A JOKE- how I laughed. Retired to tent at reasonable hour- most p*ssed man on earth decides to come to bed- by now dawn 30degrees min- me and 2 little ones get up at 6am. First child runs around naked and sits on nettles, 2nd child gets stung by bee.  First child locks himself in portaloo. Friend comes to ask where her husband is- retrace his steps- won't be seeing them again-bad influence- could go on but sure you get the drift- these were the highlights

Trying to put our Monty 6 up for the very first time in 30 degree heat on top of a mounded area of the campsite so that every single camper could see what a pigs ear we were making of it. Oh how we wished the EHU pitches were around the perimetre of the campsite and not slap bang in the middle. Three hours later (I jesteth not!!!) we finally sat down to a cuppa and dinner. Mind you we weren't much better the second time we put it up either lol!

If you have a problem stressing you, sort it. If you can't, there's no point worrying about it coz it won't make a blind bit of difference!!!! Jules
