I know the feeling Lauren ot managed to do any camping at all this year, but already buying, planning and booked for next year so can't wait

One of the sites I've booked only had 2 pitches left was so glad that I'd decided to phone when I did.

We normally keep our gear scattered throughout our (very small) house, and Christmas was a pain last year, so I've been looking at self storage companies for this year. I can get 8 weeks for £40 (small 12 sq foot locker) so all of our gear is going on it's own Christmas holidays from a couple of weeks before Christmas to mid Feb.

We can fit all 3 tents, bedding, cooking, the lot in this small lock-up which is in the middle of a building. Have a look to see if you could do something like that rather than storing it outdoors where it may get damp or even stolen. I think it's a good deal for a fiver a week.

Our camping gear is still in the spare bedroom.

My OH had a few day off last week and was itching to get away in the tent, I bottled it thinking it was going to be far too cold and damp.  He's off work again next week and he's started weather watching again!!

Think I better get our gear up into the loft ... that may kill the urge.
