Hi all

Camping season has begun, and unfortunately due to work commitments we couldn't be out there. What has added to our misery is that we sent camping virgins out on their first trip with an old tent of ours.

So to perk our selves up a bit we spent the whole of yesterday hauling the kids round to three outdoor tent shops on the ruse that we wanted to look for a weekend tent (Cabannon barbados / sunncamp Prism 8), we didn't see one but at least we got to smell canvas and spend some time in it. SAD!, or are we?

My OH is cringing as I type this.

LOL!!!

I have been off visiting a friend this weekend. We went for a walk which just happened to be go through and past a couple of campsites. Having slowed to a virtual stop we then both meandered along looking at all tents and discussing pros and cons etc of each.

I saw one I really liked but couldn't see the name from the path so we even had a wander off path to look closer.

At least your tents were in a showroom and you're permitted to go and stand an gawp, we jusy did that in a field!!!!

I sniff canvas regularly!

....i find the whiff of cabanon to be particularly satisfying.

Reminds of Somerset a couple of years ago, when I saw my first Rapido Folding Caravan. I kept looking at it because I couldn't work out how yopu would tow it (I didn't realise it folded down    I got caught staring at it by the owner and I don't think he liked the attention.

WEe had to come home early on Wed due to wind damage, despite having had 5 days over last weekend I am gutted that we have missed this weekend.

Away weekend after next but won't quite make up for the loss!!!

The Caravan Channel broadcasts 4 days a week on the Information Channel

Sky 166 and Freesat 402 - Their web site can be found here which has details of the broadcast hours

I have, but because of the weather (and us not having EHU or heating) it's making it a little easier

We went and had a look at Yeomans in Rutland on Friday, so we have been in a tent this easter break (technically)
Good job we went on Friday and not yesterday as the garden centre Yeomans is based at is right next to the prison that's rioting

Dave, thanks. web site now bookmarked.

cheers Nik
