Bought a tent, what do we need now?

[hmb]

I have finaly worn dh down and we bought a tent this weekend! It is a colarado 8, anyone used one, and are the ok?? (insert worried looking face!)

Now that we have the tent, what would you camping experts recoment for a reasonably comfortable stay. Kids are 5 and 7, dh and I too old to admit . Like a bit of luxury, so not into rubbing two boy scout together to light the fire.

Your help greatfully received!

'nesh' is weak, feeble ... particularly with regard to feeling the cold/wind/wet etc. That's what I think anyway!

Love your cow story.

We're only fair-weather, short stays, no real cooking campers. Oh and there have to be decent bathrooms nearby too. I used to do 'proper' camping with the scouts, but it doesn't appeal now.

Oh I do cold and wet - sometimes holiday in Wales ffs! But I do like a nice warm bed at the end of the night.

Dh and I camped once in Spain. We woke up and it was raining, he refused to get out of the tent until is stopped which was a long long time....

LOL re vampirish snack. I could murder a cow's head....

LOL at nesh, the 'sotherners' here dont know what a cob is!

CD to do camping you have to get extremely pissed so you dont realise how dirty and cold you are

Isn't it a big loaf of bread with a little one on the top all joined together?

Or some kind of pier

Fio for all you know I am terrible prude and not dirty at all....

LOL and a cob is a cob! a roll apparently but you know that being half-north

my husband loves camping but wants to sell our tourer and get a tent?! someone talk sense to him please

I am not half north, just only half southern

Work that one out after your bottle of wine What is a tourer

God there is so much I don't know

Some cows ate our tent once.

a tourer is a caravan, oh come on cd you know i'm half gypo half irish

a tourer is a caravan, oh come on cd you know i'm half gypo half irish

Should add that nobody was in it at the time, it was draped over a wall to air.

what of my caravan? what were you doing in it janh?

oh god poor you. Didn't think tents would taste nice

Fio call a spade a spade girl! Tourer indeed! Is that a northernism?

KS once suggested that I go to northern school, she may be right.

I told DP we needed to buy a little stove, and he asked why. I said to make our coffee in the morning, and he said 'but won't we just go to the cafe for a cappucino'.
Do you think I should warn him before we set off?

He's just SO southern.

LOL Blu

A tourer is a caravan that moves, CD! (Not very fast as a rule it has to be said but faster than a static )

Blu, I am so looking forward to the debriefing. You will write down all his innocent remarks for us, won't you?

hahahaha it is very slow up those dynnys mawdy in wales, or however it is spelt

Blu is he really that innocent?

And a cob can also be a paddy - well it is round here. Similarly, round here crammed means pissed off. I think they make them up to make southerners feel southerner.

surely all caravans move? Otherwise they would be houses or sheds. I mean what is the point of a caravan that doesn't move ffs

You lot are winding me up now aren't you?
