Hi every one,

I've just got back from my first outing with a Vango Diablo 900 and it was a positive experience. Two little points that may be of use to newbe's

1. I bought a 3m by 3m garden gazebo from my local camping shop (£24)and used this as a kitchen come dinning room having enclosed two sides with 2 windbreaks. Fantastic if you've got a family to feed.

2. I bought some of those metal stakes that you see supporting the orange netting around roadworks, they look like long y's. I got them from my local building supplier, cheap and fantastic for hanging lanterns from. 

hi

good advice on the gazebo we have  one aswell but we use the elasticated rope to hold it down by tieing it to the corner of the leg near the top then use decent storm pegs to knock in ,that way it don't move very much

the metal stakes for the lanterns if you get a small tin of flouroscent paint from the hard ware shop paint the hook part  then u can see it in the dark when the lanterns go out.

all the best for the future camping trips
