Just getting all the camping things from the spare room, under my grandsons bed and out of the cupboard under the stairs into the dinning room. OMG so much stuff, Never mind it will be worth it in the end. I have been looking forward to this since the second week of January. Tomorrow morning we shall be making our way to the Gower Coast.I hope every one that is going away this weekend a safe journey and a wonderful holiday Happy Days

We are going to Bank Farm in Horton. The OH and I were there last year enjoyed it so much it's got a lovely view of the sea managed to get the same pitch as well. Oxwich Bay is nice used to go there when I was little on our Sunday School outings or Langland Bay and then onto the Mumbles for tea Happy Days

two weeks ago we were camping in Preston for 2 nights....our car (Zafira) was rammed with stuff...plus 5 people....

in about 45 mins, we're leaving to camp at Exeter for 3 nights...this time we have our roof bag...and guess what...despite this being full..the car is STILL rammed with stuff....wtf is it coming from????

Half Empty or Half Full, it doesn't matter..it simply means there is room for more beer in your glass!!

We always struggle on the journey home. I seem to manage to pack it in really well when we set off (we have a Zafira too!) but coming home it never goes in the same.

We have managed to get 4 trips in so far this year and I am hoping to get away again before our main summer hols. Hope everyone has great time!

This is a wonderful site, my uncle has a static there. Used to visit a lot as a kid, beautiful scenery.

We have the same issue with too much stuff. Just back from a week in Caen and I packed the car really well on the way there. But on the way back it just never fits in quite right.

We have stuff everywhere at the moment.  ew rilero fill as well - we need to do a ttst run just to see how much room we need.

 We had one night away in June and managed without the roofbox (JUST!) but took the smaller tent and just about no cloths nor the big stove etc.

I think camping stuff breeds and grows in size.

So have a good trip and keep getting more 'essential' stuff to take.

Cheers
