.At 11.30 today i mentioned to my O.H that it was a lovely day just right for a spur of the moment trip and he agreed and booked somewhere!!.so when the car is packed we are off.I think ive got everything, i know ive got beer and wine! . We've only had a pratice with the tent and today our 4 year old will be helping so im hoping all will go smoothly.

So please you wonderful people send lots of positive thoughts our way,we will need them.

Good luck!

You will let us know how it went, right?

Cant wait until we have a weekend free so we can try and get away.  Things just keep cropping up!

have a fab time. My 1st time went aside last weekend so I'm green with envy!

Let us know how it goes x

hope you have a great time, , cant wait till our first trip either, first tent is all payed for now so just waiting on its delivery, just need to get the rest of the sleeping bags then i think we have enough to have a go, our lovely little ones (18,16,15,14,12,6) are all getting excited and they have been planning for tree weeks time , hope we manage it.

enjoy  yourselves carole and family and let us all know how you get on x

well we survived,weather was gorgous,our son even got red cheeks.The only downsides he was so tired he wet his bed 3am on the 1st nite,bag, airbed ,layers ,everything. mummy ended up on floor!!.After that we enjoyed our day until i came down with some sort of tummy bug, but i didnt give in, (didnt want to spoil everyones fun) so we carried on and ended up packing up in the rain!!

still we learnt a lot and we wont give up yet!  A couple of questions, how long can a damp tent stay packed away,i was thinking a couple of days. is that about right? and we were on a slope and the tent seemed to move about 4 inches but only the SIG so the tent was pulled out of shape. Was this exaggerated because we were on a slope, is there normally movement?

thanks
