I am so excited as i am taking my sister, 8 year old nephew & 4 year old grandson to Fforest fields tomorrow for 3 nights. This will be my first visit there.

I apologise in advance to anyone going there whilst we are there if you see 2 very excited little boys who have never been camping before. I will try to teach them about keeping their voices down if they wake up early but i am hoping to wear them out each day so they do not wake up too early.

I am waiting to pack the car up this morning (not sure how i am going to fit it all in lol) then driving to Coventry to stay the night at my sisters before we set of tomorrow morning.

To everyone going away this bank holiday have a fab time.

Have a great time - I've just packed up our car to go off to Colchester for the Bank Hol tomorrow.

Now need OH to come home and get the roof box on so I can do the final bits.

doesn't matter where your tent comes from so long as it keeps you dry! Glad you had a good time! Rain coats are always a bonus...I usually leave ours in the tent
