We have just gone to Winfields to buy our tent ( Gelert Horizon 8 ) but they are out of stock  however they took our name and said we should get it next weekend  and the best thing is we can still get it with the free carpet

So we bought the footprint today and because we spent over £25 we got a free Gelert LED lamp worth £14.99  I thinks we got a couple of good deals!

I'm just so happy to get started on all this camping lark, off to Netto tomz for the 12 LED headlamp for £1.99 and maybe the portable barrel BBQ for £9.99

Shaz :)

can't wait to get my tent :))

Don't mention trailer to my OH, he'll be off to get one like a shot!

Keely, you'll have to tell me what Spital Farm is like, we go past it when going to Scarboro and it looks interesting! :)

I first went on this forum at Easter. I was quite happy with my 2 small tents, one for me and hubby, the other for two teenagers. Since then I have bought new airbeds, chairs, lights and  today I ordered my new tent (Outwell Oregon 5). I am weak with excitement, I WILL camp in the garden and it is all your fault. As I said I was perfectly happy with what I had got, until you showed me all the things I NEED!!

Let me save you some time,as rochford6 has said get a trailer, a 7 seat people carrier & a full sized roof box to fit, that should keep you going for a year or so.
