Just getting ready for 10 days in Devon, putting into practice some of the fantastic tips we've learned from this site! Don't know who is more excited, me or the kids!

Your first one? We're just about to get ready for our first camp this weekend, and I'm really excited now. I'll probably hate it knowing my luck.

So glad i found this site though... i'd be lost otherwise. Just spending forever trying to read through everyones posts lol.

Not our first trip,4th this year, but only been camping about 3 years. OH was always keen and eventually he and the kids wore me down! Now I'm addicted! Enjoy your holiday,Daviebroon, I'm sure you'll love it.

We're off to the Isle of Wight this Saturday, 7am - not quite as early as you Sarah! I'm more excited than the kids too especially after successfully doing a trial run pitching our new tent yesterday in the local park! Off to buy a few essentials today and then will start packing.

Hoping everyone has a great time and at least manages to get tents pitched in the dry.

Ok getting stupidly excited now. I'm usually a nice hotel person... dunno whats come over me.

Just started buying all the little bits for my first trip. Got a load of stuff today. My fav so far is my Son of Hibachi and the UFO lights [can't believe how bright they are!) £3.50 asda bargain! Got the footprint etc too. I've still to get a table, chairs, and a stove. I've only got a bloody clio, and half of that space will be taken up by the dog!

Havn't even practice pitched yet, and I go away on Saturday lol. I can see this being a epic failure.
