You need to soak it before you use it as the cotton fibres need to swell and close the stitching holes- otherwise your first rain when camping will come right through!

 Hi dumfries and galloway has loads of good campsites  it really depends what you are looking for. There is one at Hoddom Castle Caravan Park which is situated aprox 20 miles from Carlise it is set in the grounds of Hoddom Castle near the river  has good facilites bar etc really nice site within easy distance of Lockerbie and Dumfries.

If you go further into D&G there is Brighouse Bay which is near Kircudbright really nice site but very big set very near the beach. Seaward is opposite is also good

If you head towards Stranraer A75 there are loads of sites and great beaches the Three Lochs site is really nice off the main road quiet site no bar but has swimming pool people very friendly.

Head on further and there is a campsite in the village of Glenluce Glenluce camping and caravan park the camping area is in an old walled garden next to a burn got a pool (small) not the cheapest of sites but really nice and good pubs food in Glenluce

Mossyard also on A75 private beach etc

Or head along the coastline towards Stranraer Luce Bay, Wigown (the book town) and there are lots of small quiet site some literlly on the seashore.

Enjoy !!

If you wait till it rains when you're on holiday you could get a very fine spray coming through which will slightly dampen the inner pods & your equipment, so I'd suggest that you hose it down in the garden when it's empty.
