Ours are .. have blazing arguments putting the tent up, cause a scene..(everytime without fail).... I go and sit in the car and start the wine, (drink straight out of the bottle) leave Mr know it all get on with his crap pitching. when he (thinks) he's finished.. I spend ages putting everything in its place, while he takes the kids around the campsite.. I finish all the wine and leave nothing for him.. Thats what he gets for telling me to 'use your head' .. he goes to the shop to get more wine. Have a fry up next day to cure the sore heads

Other traditions include

Swimming in sea when it's raining (always rains when or where we camp - standing joke at work) because you are going to get wet anyway



I love swimming in the rain. Can't stand swimming in the sea in England though.

Forgetting to bring something and having to stop off on way to buy"it"
Exactly this!!! We have more camping mugs and pans than you could imagine! On the last trip, the nearest big town was actually out home town. Over the winter, the camping kit had been raided for all kinds of stuff - mugs, measureing jug, masher, matches, a power adapter for something or other. When we arrived, we decided we needed mugs but could do without the rest. The only place that sold them was a posh garden centre - £14.00 later, I had 2 bone china mugs........ not ideal for camping and now in my kitchen cupboard while the hunt for new camping mugs commences before the next trip!!!

OH reminded me of another: the purchase of a disposable barbecue on the only sunny day, taken home at the end of the trip because it was never nice enough for a barbie!

I always take the first tea towel I bought when my hubby and I first started going camping 20 years ago, I take it even when I go away with the Beavers. I might not use it, but it still goes with us.

Like several others on here I make a big pot of chilli and we have that on the first night we're away.
