Having had a great 1^st year camping, one thing does get on my nerves ..........ensuring the tent is fully dry when the weatherman says full sun and it rains for days upon end.

Am I been too pedantic?, I am going away this weekend the tent and the canopy is dry, I am now trying to dry the footprint, it has taken nearly  1 week and 3 days...I guess it is better than stuffed in the garage.

P.S thanks for all the info so far my Family love camping and it would have not been so smooth without everyone’s help.

we got back from wales a few hours ago and our tents in the spare room drying out atm, it'll take days for this monster to dry but it was worth it! had a brill time, though my house looks like GO atm with all the gear around it drying! we packed away this affy in torrential rain with may i add, no falling out between us!  

You luck devil going nxt week, thats it for us now till next year so have fun n i hope the weather holds out for you!! 

DamonST now that is commitment, yes it is the only negative we have found camping -drying the tent and we have looked after it after reading all the advice on here.

This will be the last weekend camping for me, this time with my brother so two nights in the first frosts of autumn, this will test us and the sleeping bags, now where is that brandy.
