hi to all , new to site and my first post.
Decided to get back into , or rather increase my camping over the next few years . Had a great excuse in that my partner hasnt been camping with me before so i wanted to make it as a relaxed and comfortable episode as possible ..
so since christmas i have bought , vango dlx moon chairs, gelert double roll up table , gelert 4 shelf cupboard , vango sonno dlx 3-4 season double sleeping bag, then upgraded my vango venture 500 tent to a rather nice outwell illinois 6 with footprint and carpet ,a gelert ottowa 4 canopy (that i hope works ok with the outwell tent) and the list just keeps growing , but really i have been hankering after most of these items for many years after seeing others with similar items. its been an expensive upgrade but made more affordable by the fact i dont think i paid any more than 50% of the rrp for any of the items.
Now just need to make some bookings .. im lucky in the fact i live in a beautifull village in the cotswolds and there are plenty of great sites on my doorstep for relaxing weekend breaks .
Hi Illinois6 and welcome along. Don't worry that list will grow bigger as you spend more time on here because there is always something that someone has bought that you just HAVE to have
Bourton is a lovely area, not that far away from us but not camped there, yet.
Recently bought a higear wardrobe it was on special in go lol because i wanted it and needed it
I now need 2 sims to top off the camp beds i bought,
a new table and chairs/stools for the 5 of us as i managed to melt my table with the candle last summer oppps.
and im sure the list will grow still after reading on here

We've upgraded some of our kit ready for this season, bought ourselves a cleveland 5 & carpet, some comfy vango chairs and a triple height air bed. On the 'to buy' list is a roof box. Can't wait for the season to start :)
Welcome illinois6! Wishing you a very happy camping experience. You certainly have enough spanking new kit!
If I lived in Bourton-on-the-Water, I'd want to camp there too!
My kit is old and well-loved, so don't want to upgrade at all this year. Also run out of space in the car, and no chance of a trailer, so if I do buy anything new, it will be innovative, cheap and small!
The last time I said that I ended up buying an Outwell Virginia 5 for overnighters, so watch this space!
I'm just waiting for pay day to come around to start getting some more things in to get us started again ........ saying that I've just got a second hand roof box of ebay just need to get the roof bars now
Hi coll26
we have this... quest healthy griddle
it is £5 dearer, but only 800 watt and find it ample for 'fry-ups' etc.. looks same one, but different element...so it could be used on any amp EHU
