I bet my tomato plant that sat outside our tent this year gave a few people a chuckle.

It's what ya gotta do if you want to grow thirsty or difficult stuff!  I camp with my bonsai!

FoO

I used to go camping with my Wilderness Beaver - a fibreglass canal boat.

It used to get some odd looks, but it cost 8k not 30k, and it was the size of a huge 6 berth caravan.

And, of course, let's not forget the Caraboat (I've had one) the Cara-Cruiser, and all the other amphibious caravans which have been made over the years.

Two chaps turn up in a minibus and take out the smallest two man tent you have ever seen

Now I thought that one would stay in the minibus and one in the tent

Nope!..........................Two in the tent

Marvellous stuff

Although saying that my wife and I stayed in our new 9 birth just to check it out for the first time  and im sure we got a few lifted eye brows especially when we went to a wedding later that day and came out of the tent aptly dressed.

And for those that read the earlier threads we don’t have a 4x4 so it wasn’t us

So do I!

Mind you, I'd have to be careful not to pop out to the loo during the night

Perhaps a caraboat may come in quite handy on some of the campsites nowadays

I may just get one of those with a sea view wind break and a captains hat for the missus

Did anybody try and go to Glenridding campsite Cumbria a few weeks ago or should I say mud site!

Jeepers I felt for those that had booked not knowing there was a cross country motor bike thing going on......on the campsite it seemed!

I have a perfect test to see if it's muddy outside the tent....

I push the OH outside quickly- if she stays upright it's ok, if she rapidly disappears in a downward direction followed by a liquid, slapping sound then it's muddy

Once saw a couple arrive on site with a tiny, vintage caravan - it looked great, lots of wood panelling and green paintwork. Once they'd levelled the van, their next job was to put up ... a hanging basket full of flowers and plants!

Overnight stop off in Somerset this year -  just finished pitching our Baltic Sea L - when middle-aged biker arrives and pitches the smallest tent you ever saw ( proper "biker tent" )  he then goes of to the local pub - later to be joined by rather petite lady friend - who he takes back to the tent.  She later drives off home leaving biker alone.

following day he produces much wider tent - which he promtly pitches and then take down tiny tent - erm,,,, odd

So I guess his "guest" for night 2 may be somewhat larger than the previous night ! LOL  -
