been camping many times with a few pal's as we have Land Rovers and go off roading etc, this years Land Rover show at Billing Aquadrome was last weekend and we decided to take the wags and kids..

well my Mrs has always been "im never getting in a tent blah blah blah" so i was a bit suprised to say the least when she agreed to come along. So i ordered a new tent as my 2 man pop up was not up to the job for 2 adults and a 2yr old, so opted for the Nevada M from Millets £145 delivered.

Got to Billing on Friday and just as we started to pitch up the Heavens opened lol, this was the first time i had pitched the Nevada as it only arrived a few days before we left, well despite the rain i had it up and pegged in about 40 mins and what a fantastic tent it is, we stayed in it until Sunday eve then came home, the weather was pretty good apart from the start and we had a great weekend (34 of us inc kids in 9 tents)..

Now what has shocked me the most is my Mrs seems to have got the bug, she's now saying we must buy this and that lol and wants to go again!!

Happy days.....

Lol, know how ya feel.

I'm a driving instructor but also wrk 10hrs a week at argos. It's amazing, someone comes in to buy a cool bag/tent and we're best mates by the time they leave! Can you imagine how long my shopping list gets each week? Will never have any money ever again!
