True pokey i may not like it but im gonna give it a bl**dy good try. I was advised to look for stuff at this time of year cos its cheaper apparently. Got a wedding to save for so a proper holiday is out of the question, camping seems like a great way of getting away and frankly i need to do something different and get out of my comfort zone and im fit and active so im gonna go for it.....can't sell the idea t my better half  unfortunately lol. Didn't realise Halfords did camping gear, thanks for the tip:-)

Thanx to everyone else too!

In a word.....nothing! Managing to put a list of stuff together from what people on here have suggested. If i start getting stuff now theres at least 6 months to spread the cost of everyhting.

Yeah i will use a car and be using a car. Usually we park the car up somewhere and go hiking with a small backpack. Theres so many great places....thought about starting somewhere close to home such as the north Norfolk Coast. And yeah i know im gonna get things wrong at first.

And if i really decide its not my thing then theres several people at work who go camping and i can offer them the gear so it won't be wasted. If you have a comprehensive list Pokey id be glad to see it.

Thanx:-)

My apologies Pokeystick I didn't see that little sentence at the end of your post. My fault for scimming through instead of reading thoroughly

Well I've started off with the most important piece of equipment.....the tent! Remembered your advice Pokey and its a cheap but good tent....the Hi Gear Ion 3 and i ordered the groundsheet of ebay too.

*lIstens to everyone groan and roll their eyes*......."why on earth did he order that one?" lol
