Well only 2 more days to go before our first ever camping trip. All the kids are excited, all adults are nervous as hell!!!

If any of you kind camping folk happen to be pitching up at Goldensands, Mablethorpe, on Friday & see a couple of families struggling in the rain to try to put up a tent or two, feel free to help. There may be a drink or two in the offering.

Rain or not, we're going to make the best of it & enjoy it (otherwise this'll be our first & last camping trip!).

The plan is, if it's raining the wives will take the kids swimming, while us blokes pitch up the tents. We'll then swap, the wives & kids will then sort the insides out while us blokes go swimming (via the bar).

Have a fab time!

 ... we had our first ever family camping trip last weekend, and we loved it even though the weather was very 'challenging' at time! (high winds and lashing rain)

  ... enjoy the experience, wish we were camping again this weekend as we all loved it so much!

We are actually looking forward to it especially as we've had a quick look at some of the places we could go this year.

We had a lodge holiday in the Forest of Dean last year. No funfair, no amusments but the kids loved it (damn near went feral in the wild) so camping out in the wide open space is a family holiday we will all enjoy (so long as the tent stays up & dry....)

Tricia16, if we're about we will help. Though I can't guarantee success

bloomooning. I was thinking tea or coffee (ahem!).....

camped at Mablethorpe years ago when the children were small. Lets just say it rained lots!! Best holiday we ever had and the children still talk about it fondly to this day.

The sun was shining brightly as we left!!!!
