Hi Tigermouse, you are quite welcome to come and talk to us all about the broads on www.thenorfolkbroads.net

I know both the rangers, Tobi and Bret, that take care of Salhouse broad,hire out the canoes ect, and have often cooked them up a meal when we have been down there, along with the local broads beat lads and the Ba rangers who run the little launches with the blue lights on the top!

If ever you are heading that way again let me know, i may be able to get you a ride on a boat for the price of a pint for the skipper, or for free if it happens to be me!

Sounds brill - I love boats! Hopefully be down that way again in August

Used to have an old ridge tent with no porch, so food was kept in carrier bags outside under the flysheet. Was awoken to find a goat wedged between the inner and the flysheet,munching on a loaf of bread, still in its plastic bag. The campsite owner used to let the goat into the field on purpose, just for a laugh.

My dad lives in Florida, when I visited with my hubby and daughter about 13 years ago we took our tent and went camping in Myakka State Park (think that's the right spelling).  Anyway, my stepbrother and his wife had organised it for us to get away from the oldies for a couple of days! 

Every pitch has a fire pit and picnic table, and we pitched two tents.  We were quite merry (beer-merry) and were hysterical that as I turned round to face the table after sitting sideways, there was a raccoon nose to nose with me.  We shooed them away, then a raccoon ripped a hole in my step-brothers tent.  He stuffed his coat in it... about two in the morning he was running after the raccoons trying to get his coat back!  It was fun though.  Not so fun when an aliigator walked past us next morning....

We recently had a fortnight in cornwall, and the  campsite was full of bunnies .On a couple of occaisons they left us a small prezzie on the carpet.

My littleman,5 did confess on the way home to leaving carrots out for them,and apparently they don't like potatoes or onions    we must have run out of carrots.

Hi All,

We've just got back from our first week away in our RW6.  We were pitched next to a barn with swallows & house-martins nesting under the eaves, one of which thought she'd check out the 'eyebrow' mini-canopies over our tent windows.  That was fine, but the other interloper was one of the farmyard cats who I suspected all week of coming in to pee on the dog bed when OH left the door open, not fine!  My suspicions were confirmed when I picked it up to pack it in the car.  Phew what a stink!  Guess what's first in the washing machine when I unload the car in a minute!
