How chuffed am I. We've just got back from our first week away in out new Outwell Georgia XL. What a tent! What a week!

The tent went up like a dream and looked a lot better than our trial pitch in the back garden when you have the time and the space to peg it out properly.

Took about an hour to put up with the help of my loving and understanding wife. I've told her she needs to improve her upper body strength before we go again though. The point when she had to go in the tent to lift the poles up, she couldn't lift them above her shoulders! I had to lift them up and then lower them onto her "locked" arms. (thanks babe)

Weather was ok - windy and very cold at night. It was our first go on EHU and our fan heater died. For some reason I just couldn't sleep at all, probably the excitement of it all. Though the kids and wife seemed to be fine!

Mablethorpe Golden Sands - thumbs up from us!



-------------
I'm new to this camping lark - all help and advice, no matter how obvious it may seem, is greatly appreciated!

Easter - Golden Sands, Mablethorpe
June - Thorpe Park
July - Wild Duck...wooohooo
