We had a great time away from Monday to Friday , aside from Tuesday morning when it rained, we were blessed with fantastic weather and spent days on Weymouth beach. My husband has caught so much sun , he is browner than when we were in Jamaica for 2 weeks last year.
Camping wise, this trip has changed everything. I was the over keen camper in the family with my husband enjoying it - when we had arrived and the tent was up but no excitement packing or getting bits ready to go.
Monday saw us putting up the tent, then the extension to which he said 'Is this really necessary?' Tuesday when we woke to lots of rain, he decided it was entirely necessary and I was applauded for being so clever . 
We were in a field with lots of familys who had 'everything' and with us having what he thought of as my excesses of equipment, not excessive but quite sad in comparison. As a result HE now has a wish list of things for next time - including a big boy BBQ (or perhaps cob?). To facilitate this as well as the needed change in car for him, he wants a big trailer with a hard top so we can also take the bikes. He spent time on equipment porn more than me....
The kids had an absolute ball, they found friends (as they do) and didn't want to leave had it not been for my daughter having her 1st brownie sleepover Friday we would of nicked in a couple of more nights.
As promised before my 'review ' of get-u-camping.co.uk
The quick version is faultless, the longer version follows.
We paid and have their 'dry & store service' primarily as I know my tent/extension can't fit in my car together with the rest of my stuff, drying out the tent is a pain.
We had the drop off & pick up booked a couple of weeks ago. Sunday I had a call from Heather to check we still wanted the tent delivered & what time. I arranged a time with her. Monday, on the journey down our sat nav informed us we were running late - I called and put back delvery by 1/2 hr. I was told no problem - to ring again 5 mins before arrival and they would meet me at reception. We arrived, I went into reception to get my pitch no. , came out and their car pulled up and I was met with smiles. They drove my tent to my pitch, we arranged a pick up time for Friday and off they went.
We had arranged between 10-11 for Friday. Soon after 10am I had a call, to tell me they were 15mins away. Happily the tent was down and ready to go. They came to the pitch, checked to see if the tent needed opening and drying out, informed me of the traffic problems locally , were so friendly and nice,reminded me to send details of my next trips booking and went.
I honestly cannot fault the service, friendliness and lack of stress involved. Would I recommend the service? Without a doubt, without hesitation. I am a very happy customer.
Apparently, people had been trying to work out how we got everything and us in our car witout a trailer. Some 'neighbours' we had been friendly with had taken 2 cars, for all their stuff. After seeing get u camping in action, they feel they will now also use the service.
Hope this helps someone.
