finally - I have bought a tent!!!

[jeangenie]

well, ordered a sunncamp oasis 600 at least
brother in law was here this w/e and he egged me on (left to our own devices we'd never have bought one, we've been searching for over a year now )
anyone know it? (PLEASE DON'T SAY ANYTHING BAD ABOUT IT ) I just hope it won't be a killer to put up
now, what else do we need???

Its ridiculus - I get excited by the new rock pegs we bought and even dd is getting the bug and keeps showing people how they glow in the dark LOL

thanks lucycat - doesn't seem too outrageous to me - I might leave the washing line, the electrical stuff and storage furniture out but otherwise...
thankfully we have a roofbox too, and a deeply untrendy but wonderfully capacious car
have spent today pouring over the guardian camping thingy fantasising about the wonderful times we are all going to have (when we are not being eaten by midges - anyone else think the midge rating was hilarious? first off I thought it was some kind of weird quality/star rating system for campers...I thought you must all be quite, quite barmy to rate quality in terms of flying biting insects...then I read the small print)
thanks for the links dustystar - I better go for non-stick as am notorious for burning stuff, bet I could even burn a pan of plain water without trying too hard
firstly gotta get the airbed and sleeping bags though
and I saw some sunncamp chairs in Robert Dyas today for about £7 which seemed ok, might buy one for DH so he doesn't keep stealing mine

Make sure your chairs are the ones with little drinks holders in so you have somewhere to put your beer while you're reading.

The washing line will be useful for pegging out your towels, tea cloths or any clothes that get wet.

And has anyone mentioned the bucket for the midnight wee?
