.... I think they are brill tho and will be getting some more to replace the black groundsheet in the picture.  They will be much better when it rains as the rain will drain away. ....

Hi. I have some interlocking tiles which we've had for years and its great to have two or three  for just outside the tent door in wet weather. They are quite bulky to transport but worth it for longer stays I think.

I'm intrigued as to why you had put a groundsheet down in front of your tent to make a sort of plastic patio though - what's that all about? MT

To cover the mud patch that the previous occupants left (in our case)...

LOL - it was there to try and stop dragging half the field into the tent as the grass had just been cut

Well, grass is sort of an integral feature of camping! But you are clearly very tent proud and tents with Sigs/Zigs do present more issues about grass, sand etc so I can sort of see why you might be tempted to do something like this.

In view of the number of posts lately, including one above in this thread, about balding or muddy patches left on pitches, if you really wanted to do this another time might it be possible to think about lifting your outside groundsheet when you are out during the day, overnight etc? Just a thought. MT

Are you executing your dog by the electrocution method perchance ?

MT - it won't be an issue again as I'll be using the interlocking tiles like you - thanks for your concern for fellow campers tho

Safeway - I presume you mean him looking like he's walking through the hanging wires??   No doggies were hurt in the taking of any pictures......

Interlocking thingies look like the way forward agreed... But they'll have to wait until we buy a trailer as I've hit the limit on what we can fit in...

Woofers the bench in the picture of the tents did you bring it with you or did set up around it great site

Found some on above site £8.99 per pack of 4. Looks like £3.99 p&p although free postage and packing on orders over £50. Dont know how good/bad discover.co.uk is as I have never used them.
