Please hurry summer I need to use my Soulpad!

[shirazplease]

Anybody else out there fed up with this miserable weather and spending any free time lusting after new camping gear and camp sites?

We've (finally) indulged in a 5m Soulpad with genie, got my grubby little mitts on an Obelink tarp, made metres and metres of bunting, fairly lights at the ready and literally just ordered a Cadac Safari Chef LP.

AND I NOW NEED TO USE IT ALL!!!!

Haven't even managed to erect (that still makes me giggle, immaturity alert) said tent yet as the garden is a swamp.

Does anybody else feel my pain?

What is theis soulpad of which you speak?

But yes, I share your pain. We were camping near Brid on 22/23rd March last year. It was reasonably warm and I wore shorts n everythng!

Capiche. We just got a 3 metre one, we had an Obelink 4m deluxe but sold it a couple of years ago as I felt guilty, having never been camping in it.

I wish I'd kept it now - but the 3m will be less heavy at any rate.

Garden is a swamp here too

I want to TRY it fgs

We got the 5m Genie last year but only used it once as the weather was so crap from May onwards. Also managed to get a hole in it as we put the dog's crate too near the edge and the wind made the canvas rub against the sharp corner :(

Hoping for some actual sun this year so we can use it more.
