I'm just sitting here feeling absolutely amazed at how much knowledge I have gained in such a short time from being on this site. In August, all I knew about camping was the distant memories of girl guiding days . Then I acquired an incredibly old tent from freecycle supposedly for Ben to mess around in, in the garden and the camping bug was hatched!!

I am so pleased I found this site at that point. All the wonderful advice and information I have picked up has enabled me to make what I think are very good choices, not only in tents but all the other equipment I have accrued ( a bit scary to think 3 months ago the nearest thing to camping I possessed was a pop up tent for the babies to play in in the garden!!

So I just wanted to say a big thank you to all of you who have read and found the time to answer all my crazy posts. I do hope as my knowledge increases I will be able to give a little back to new members.

I love this site, I love camping and I love my tents!

Thank you Rex - what a lovely message.

I am not such a 'young one' - just a 'new' one!!

You are not really leaving the world of camping as you have your lovely new TT so still under canvas (and don't forget your gorgeous Cabanon) - I just wish I had lived nearer to you and I would have happily bought your tent, kitchen tent & trailer (perhaps it's a good job I don't really!).

Anyway, thanks for the message and for all the knowledge I have gleaned from your very interesting posts - keep posting on here - especially those wonderful ones crammed full of information abut life under canvas.

Sorry, I'm rambling - should have stopped at 2 glasses of vino!!!

It's a fab obsession to have Anne! We've only been camping in our own tent since 2005 and have since accumulated a large shed plus loft full of kit, nine (count 'em!) tents of varying sorts and have had some amazing holidays. I only tend to post on here and the camping abroad boards, but have had some wonderful advice, and hopefully am now able to help others.

Also, we've met some great people on holiday. Definately get a UKCS sticker for your car, we've bumped into other UKCS-ers all over Europe!

Fostermum, I only started posting in August too, and become adicted to camping and this forum....and I second everything you say. I don`t have as many tents as you.....yet, but I`m working on it LOL

I'd also like to reiterate the points made by fostermum!  What I like about this site is you can post all day every day or (as I do) "come and go" and perhaps not post for weeks but when you do you are just as welcome!

Really great site, impossibly to say how useful all the information on here has been!
