Well, neither dh or myself campers, but I've persuaded him to go to Blackberry Woods next weekend, for 2 days only.
It will be dh, myself and our 16-month old (escape artist, if that makes any difference).
With weekend rapidly approaching, I'm starting to panic about the tent.
I've read a lot of reviews and threads about the best tents on here, and keep having to have words with myself as to why we don't need the really, really lovely ones that I want to live in looks comfortable but costs a fortune.
My problem: Do we get a proper tent so as not to put dh off completely on first attempt at camping (but spend too much on what will most likely be the only camping weekend this year), or do we buy something cheap that will erect in minutes, but not so comfortable?
None of our friends camp, so sadly we can't borrow one, which would have been ideal.
PS: You can't really realistically go camping in winter, can you??
Thanks very much in advance!
