Just to add a bit more to this thread. Turns out one of my friends, a neighbour in our housing complex, used to work for Stuart Burgess and Gerry Lloyd. We got on subject of camping in 70's and I remembered first tent I and OH had was a Blenheim. Small world isn't it.


Hi Stuart, his name is Andrew Nicholls and I think he was working for you in Dudley 1980-82.

Hi Mavis,

Yes Andy worked with us but at School Rd, Yardley Wood, very keen on Sport at the time. Do you still see him?  He was not married at that time.

Best regards,
Stuart.

Hi Stuart, he is married to the manager here in our retirement housing complex. If you want to get in touch with him let me have your email address to pass on to him.

Just an amazing read!

How on earth did folk manage getting it in a car back then, as I'm sure vehicles were not as big back then?  Just shows how times change

The two bags of poles plus two bags of canvas etc fitted very neatly into our Volvo Estate and there was even room for a change of clothes and a tin of beans!

Whether we actually managed to get the Stuart Lloyd into the Citroen 2CV (our choice of cars was always "interesting"!) I can't remember but we definitely went camping in N Wales in that car.

We didn't have the problem but as it's a family tent I suppose you sometimes have to decide whether to take the kids or the tent.........

We had Mariner not a hatchback or estate car. 2 adults, with toddler in rear baby seat. Some stuff packed inside car and around her where safe - OH was a vehicle safety inspector for Dept of Transport so very careful. Tent inner, Tilley Talisman stove and gas, plus food crammed into boot. Tent canvas and frame plus pushchair on roof rack covered over with a big tarp well lashed down. No roof boxes then so far as I remember, but we didn't take much, not even a cooler. Eventually OH got some angle iron - part of old army bunkbeds - and wood then designed and made a trailer.

The good old roof rack was something almost everyone used to own back in the 70's and 80's. I seem to remember that most cars had the same kind of roof guttering so they were pretty universal in style and very cheap. I think mine cost around £15.00. add a couple of yards of polythene and an Octopus bungee and the world was your lobster when it came to transporting kit around.

Armchair camper with more tents than I will probably ever get the use out of.
