I can't stop buying 'stuff' for camping, but, we haven't even BEEN camping yet! I'm addicted. Today I bought a camping magazine that has a free camp site map on it.

I can't wait, we go April 2nd for our first ever family camp. I've been myself lots, as a child and as a singleton, but, we've never been as a family. I am already looking for somewhere for Summer breaks too.

How many times do you have camping breaks? I am even thinking that I might find a local-ish site to get the tent up for a week or two in the summer even if DH is not off, after all if its close enough he can commute to work from there! ha!

Join the club of the addicts, you'll be in good company!

I go on average 6 trips a year, including camping in the colder months, in order to get my fixes.

I doubt the buying will ever stop, nevermind.

Just a word of warning make sure all your kit fits in your car well before you go !

Highly addictive......only camped 4 times last year, lots more the year before that.....

We used to do two cars......we hae a lovely trailer now.....and a bit more room to fill

Totally addictive,no cure(thankfully),

We're addicted too, only our 3rd season.

We've found a nice small site 35 mins away, dont need to book, so if we decide to camp after work on a Fri ,we just go. Bought a Vango Icarus 400, just for these trips. lovely tent for 2 of us, easy and quick to pitch.

And in the winter, trip to Go Outdoors for my fix!!  Sad?

postie delivered my 'pack mate' roll up bags today

I'm so excited! LOL, I am counting down the sleeps until April.

Also, we are taking the tent to my in laws tomorrow, as they have a massive garden, so that we can have a go at putting it up! eeeks!
