I took my brother and his family camping in kent last october, we had a months worth of rain in a single day. They enjoyed it so much the bad weather didn't put them off and they want to camp again.

I am going on a camping trip for the first time in May.  I am part of a dog walking group and we have decided to have a week-end away.  I have bought a Blacks 2 man pop up tent which is really quite big.  It will only be me and my little westie sleeping in it.   I am just waiting for my airbed and pump to arrive.  I have the mat for underneath the bed, pots and pans and I am borrowing a stove.  Really looking forward to it.

My sister and her man..My brother and his wife..Although not directly influenced by my camping...are all now keen caravaners..and we all head off to campsites together on a fairly regular basis..Having all started in tents.....

Jelboy.

Good luck with your first trip Aileen, but beware, you may get bitten buy the camping bug!

My sister always makes fun of me. Last year she went to the trouble of posting me some melamine plates with scenes form Carry On Camping printed on them! (she saw them in a shop while on a 'normal' holiday and thought of me!)

She thought it was hilarious<IMG style="CURSOR: hand" onclick="AddSmileyIcon('forum_images/smiley15.gif')" alt= src="https://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/chatter/forum_images/smiley15.gif"> but they're so naff they're actually rather cool!...I do use them! <IMG style="CURSOR: hand" onclick="AddSmileyIcon('forum_images/smiley4.gif')" alt= src="https://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/chatter/forum_images/smiley4.gif">

Hi Fratts,

Awesome was not quite the word that sprang to mind when I opened them but they did make me laugh....there was no note with them but I new immediately they were from my sister as she's as daft as a brush! She told me you can also get bowls and mugs but she couldn't quite stretch to those!...It was quite a posh shop by all accounts!

I tink Towsure sell the carry on stuff - I have seen them recently... it may have been in Just Kampers tho..

they do look cool - but I will have to stick to my poundshop bargains this year as we have bought loads of new stuff (including tent) this year!
