Or guess the sort of person hiding behind their windbreak competition. Catagories could include. Miserable s*ds, shy, unsociable, We like privacy, were eating, or this is my plot no entry.

Nookie in a Tent? You mean people do that??

Im not making any of the suggestions going through my head, as I have no intention of being barred from a camping forum.

JulieandWayne...

There is the l.o.n.g.e.s.t thread on here called exactly that: Nookie in a Tent.

If you have a spare hour and need a good laugh, do search for it and have a read.

You'll see there's no need to be worried about being barred - it's all been done already!

Giving a nod to the manufacturers indicated berth sizes for their tents...How about...

The Syncronized Turnover(While asleep) event!!

Subject to the honesty of the nocturnal participants record keeping...and the ability of one of the occupants of the tent staying awake all night to record any and all turns...Points could be awarded for any random face slapping by a stray arm during turn over..Any leg kicking during the deep sleep RAM section of the night...or any elbow poking or accidental head butts administerd to neighbors (either side) during any part of the night...

Would also need the services of any "Factoid" Geek on site to judge said event....As most of us would nod off reading the 1st checksheet........

Jelboy.

Or, one for the unco-operative teanagers (tell me I'm not the only parent with one of those...). The x-factor style panel of judges just fire random instructions at each contestant eg hold this guy line, pass the mallet to me, get out of bed etc, and the winner is the one who fires back the most "excuses" as to why they can't / won't / will be delayed in doing the required task. No hesitation is allowed in the answers, and no consonants.




In addition to this I suggest the (teenagers only) contest "Taking the longest time to squeeze air out of an inflatable armchair by sitting in it". To be performed while the rest of the families are taking the tents down above the contestants' heads.

This list goes on,

If this campolymics goes on and the thread gets ever so many pages longer, do we have to think of an 'Opening Ceremony'?

I propose, over stuffed cars should parade around the site peeling off at intervals to pitch, those with trailers can do a clever syncronised thingy, caravaners, could we have a display of manual positioning? HIkers, hmm let me think about that one. Culminating in a torch lit procession crocodile fashion around the site admiring tents before snaking off to the nearest hostelry.
