First trip in a brand new tent (Kalahari 10), first trip of the year, and first trip for our daughter!!

Tomorrow we're off to Penpont Campsite near Brecon http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/details.asp?revid=11023   There's 16 adults and 1 18 month year old going, and as the place it relatively small we've been given exclusivity of the site!  All lovely people - mix of family and friends. I've visted the site twice (it's not far from us!) and it's a gorgeous location.

The weather is looking fab, we'll be packing the car tonight.  I don't think we've forgotten anything, but we're only 50 mins away from home if a disaster strikes, and Brecon town is a few minutes drive away if we need anything. But I am trying to plan this trip well enough that we shouldn't NEED to go anywhere or get anything!

I'm SO excited!! Will post some pictures of our set up and the site (and do a review if possible) when we're back! 

Now I've posted this, I HAVE to post pictures and let you know how it went don't I!

Hope everyone else who's going camping this weekend has a wonderful time!

It's just £7 pppn (baby going free, but would have been £3.50 pcpn for 2-16 year olds.), and we've some friends joining us during the day on the Saturday and will also be paying a contribution per person.  But it's really more to do with the fact there's enough of us. It's not a huge site.  We won't be using the pitches down by the river, just stay social on the main bit.  Plus they put up the awning for free and have a ready made firepit.  There's an honesty farm shop on site too.

Here we go!

What a wonderful weekend!  Will do a proper  review of the site later on, but here's a few pictures!

Eileedhoops - I didn't take a picture of the river (my camera had a funny turn by the end of the weekend) but my dad did.  Once I get the pictures off him I'll upload one for you!

Our tent - Kalahari 10 and porch.  First time it was ever pitched and I'm aware the porch doesn't look well pitched - we had more trouble with the porch than the tent! lol

The awning that the campsite have up all summer!! Was a godsend when the sun was out!

Majority of the group gathered around the campfire!

Hope this was the right way to do pictures - uploaded them to my profile and linked them in!

Going off to add more photos to the Kalahari tent review bit later!!
