Hankers,

I admit I'm not particularly shy, and am more than happy to pass on any titbits I've picked up over the years (whether folk ask me to or not! Ha, Ha!), but I'm pretty sure most of my "Karsten knowledge" came from these very pages and/or directly from James & Suzie at CTS, so my own thanks goes to all those who passed on their own tips.

Either way, it's been a blast... and touch wood, continues to be for a good while longer yet!

Just 3 more sleeps before we rock up French-side again... and put a welcome halt to this current "Longest Camping hiatus since we started".
It seems we're likely to be relying on the Karsten keeping us more dry than cool for this trip, if weather forecasts are to be believed, but hey ho, campers can't be choosers!

Kakia is now all packed in our fancy new van, ready for the off on Friday.
We fancy going with the Pod + CA + RA, (and maybe the side walls). Not put an arched pole up for a while, much to my shame!

If all goes to plan, it will be a single overnighter in each direction, plus 13 nights on one site in Alsace, but as always, there's always the option to make last minute changes... and this wonderful set-up of ours in no way hinders us on that score!
Who needs a motorhome, eh?

Enjoy your trip!

Can't put up a tent on my own anymore without suffering the next day or so, so I am glad for the switch to a tin tent!

Ha Hanka I don’t think anyone could describe the Air Force as a touring tent or easy in and out of the car. But what a beautiful beast, the stately home of tents, real old school, although I think it was the poled version I fell in love with at the NEC.

Mucker you must be getting v.excited now to get your fix of camping after your long break.Wishing you both a fabulous trip.

I wish I was camping at the moment. I have to wait a couple of weeks, then is off to the south of Wales near Carmarthen.
Hopefully by then the weather will have sorted itself out and be a bit more predictable.
