Canvas tent, paraffin light, petrol stove. Heaven
I'd rather be kayaking.
Spent up, not pent up, just had my new tent up.

Bronco, are you going to take that pup on its first camping trip this weekend?

I'm still planning to go to Cumbria tomorrow (Sunday) although the weather forecast up there looks iffier as the week moves into Monday and Tuesday - sod's law because it is lovely here this morning with bright sun under a clear sky and not too cold.

I expect I'll have a good time even if it rains but everything's so much easier when the weather stays dry.

Well I really wanted to get away this weekend, probably up to the Lakes, but I've stayed at home in favour of going to a family 40th anniversary 'do' tonight, as it might look bad if I don't turn up. Wouldn't be so bad if it was p***ing down but we have wall to wall sunshine and blue sky so I really feel like I'm wasting a weekend.

Yes! Pup came with us and it was nightmare!!! When we arrived she jumped out of the car before we could grab her and we were warmwed up greatley trying to catch her!! She was the reason for this weekends trip. We figured it would be quiet. It turned out to be busy but not bad despite the cold. Millie Bob has ahd her first taste of the great outdoors, and she likes it..

Will post a review of Packhorse Farm at a later date..

Update.
       My wife and I did go away as planned, despite the bad weather forecast.

My first choice of site, didn't have sufficient cover from the wind to my belief. So a more exclusive (and more costly) site was chosen.

Despite rain and wind each day, the tent performed admirably in keeping us dry, and staying put.

Sadly, I've not got any images. We took a camera, but forgot to take it with us when we went out.

Packing up the wet tent on Monday morning did not feel comfortable. It seemed to weigh about 2 kg more.

We got home in time to erect it in the garden to dry out.
Today it rained again, tomorrow heavy rain is forecast, so Thursday is the only day I have to pack it dry.

We're not finished tenting for this year, but certainly not when frost and snow set in.

Regards James

Hello Paul.
           Sorry to learn about your loss, I considered double pegging and guying, but opted for the more expensive site with more shelter.

We did not get to Cromer due to time constraints, instead we got as far as Blakeney.

Aerial bombardments in the Wash did not occur on Friday. We went to RAF Holmbeach area, the Red Flag flew, but that's all that flew that day.

My car got very dirty, but a 2 GBP Car Wash Machine sorted that out.

Here's to the next one.

Regards James
