myself and my g/f went camping last summer, just for 1 night to get into the swing of it, found an old eurohike tent in the loft, still waterproof sp we used that. went to a local site, Wicks Farm near Chichester. bought a couple of the sunn gaz camping stoves and an air bed(which we forgot to pack doh). borrowed some stuff from a friend who goes camping a lot i.e lights, pots and pans etc...

I couldnt believe how much stuff we needed for one night, were going to try book up for the late bank holiday weekend in May,

any tips for this? thinking about Hampshire/Dorset.

there will be 4 of us, 2 men and 2 girlies, ages 20 - 26

between us i think we will have most of the equiptment, just need something to cook under if it rain, was thinking about a gazeebo but i have read on here that a lot of sites dont like them..

any replies will be good, thanks

Don't worry about it, just have fun.  Take the basics, something to cook on, sleep in etc etc.  We've never bothered with a gazebo, but a wind break is quite handy when cooking outside.  Anyway the weather will be glorious!!!

Anyway you say how much stuff you need to take ... think about us poor sods with families, we fill the car around the children!!!

Have fun anyway ... hope you get addicted like the other crazy people on this site

And don't forget the 'something for the weekend' from the barbers

Have fun.
