G'day, Y'all .... a newbie here. Sadly, the fresh faced bit disappeared a few decades ago. Would appreciate a little info. if anyone can help.

Returning to the outdoors after too many years away and hence, have been watching the site for some time and taking on board all the excellent advice and guidance.

Off camping this year again and have more or less decided upon the purchase of a new Montana 6. Took the advice and went to see one, amongst others, at GoOutdoors in Coventry. Nigh on blew our socks off ... great quality and bags of room. So far, so good.

Thing is ... quite fancy having a looksee at the forthcoming Boat, Caravan and Outdoor Bash at the NEC. Could anyone tell me if there will be tents on show .... errrrr, erected? It's a long haul over the Tamar, from the Land of the Pasty, if there's only floating sheds on display.

Lastly, as mentioned, all the advice etc. is very valuable, but .... I learned so much about the way tents actually looked, and "sat" on their sites .... and the physical scale of them, from the members who were good enough to add gallery pictures to their profiles. Excellent source of information when deciding upon the purchase of equipment ..... though sadly not too many Montanas or Vermonts. Many thanks to those who have uploaded pics of their rigs.

Nuff said .... I'm gone.

Wonder if Will at Yeomans will be donating some free tickets to UKCS members, this year (hint, hint)?

Yeomans are selling tickets at less than the internet price.  £10 per adult, £8 per senior and you still get a show guide.  Apparently Coleman, Vango and Outwell all have their own stands this year.  Saw a plan of the show in the Camping magazine and the tent area isn't huge but if there are different manufacturers there this year it should be interesting particularly with the new ranges by Vango.
