I just went to the park to test the new tent from e-bay - Gelert cadiz 4 - and a man walking past said "I wouldn't camp there - it's dangerous at night"

I know he meant well but the idea of anyone camping in the middle of a SE London Borough did make me laugh!!

The tent went up ok (took about 30 mins) but it was VERY windy taking it down - luckily it went back in the bag ok - very impressed. It is obviously better quality than any tent i have had before which is nice

Lol, that did conjure up some funny mental images!! Having lived in SW London I can just imagine the scene, having your pitch fully set up, cup of tea in hand, people walking past, bewildered

Thanks for that!

You've reminded me of a very funny moment in Skegness.I was camping with a group and it was fairly late,the campsite was packed but silent as everybody had settled down.

All of a sudden,from a tent opposite us we heard a guy break wind,his wife said in a quiet voice "You dirty b*****d". But being it the dead of night most people heard.One of my buddies then said in a louder voice "Yeah,you dirty b******d,I can smell that from here".

The woman in the other tent said in a very shocked voice "Oh my god,everyone heard that".

There was chuckles and laughter coming from virtually every tent on the site.It still makes me smile now.
