we started in wobbley tents as a bit of a joke really about 6yrs ago, my OH always said she'd never go camping, so i bought a cheap tent and persuaded her to at least try it, to my surprise she loved it and really took to camping ,  then i joined ukcs about 4yrs ago,

after some good times in the tent ,she who must be obeyed ,decided we were too old to be sleeping on the floor in tents and that we should get a tin tent , we did and the rest, as they say, is history we're now on our second tin tent. ( neither caravan cost us more than £600.00 but both were in excellent condition and had been well looked after)

we were at the nec spring show too this yeart , we didn't buy though much as i wanted too, especially when one eager salesman offered us a one off show day £1200.00 trade-in price for  our current tin tent

i like to think we're all newbies really, irrespetive of experience,  we can all learn something new from each other as, opinions, trends , legislation and kit can change so quickly these days

Was you at Lakeside this weekend just passed alphonso? I saw someone there with a great big mast and a derby county flag!

Was you 1 of the kind people who helped take our awning down that had blown onto our roof? We thought the park was quite nice if a little expensive bearing in mind you have to pay to get into the swimming pool, we only went there because we wanted somewhere close to home for our first trip away in the van!
