I went to a fab camping shop today and bought ....

[Kbear]

a camping fridge and a windbreak and a trailer lock and a mains adapter and two lights. I had to wrestle DH to the ground and steal his card before he went and bought a tent he wanted. STEP AWAY FROM THE TENT... WE HAVE A TENT!!! LOL

I'm a happy camper. Going on 22nd to Kessingland.

Sounds like us at any camping store pmsl

Mind you luce is after ANOTHER tent- you and I both pale into mediocrity before her shopping talents LOL

We were like silly children "ooh I like this one" "ooh come and look at this one". We have a tent that is perfectly adequate but when you see some of them ....(and so cheap too - one was £125 and it was massive, a Khyam something or other I think).

I am sitting here smiling at my new fridge (or wine cooler as I like to call it! ha ha).

Ah we have a massive Khyam, but ours is £199-,was it a Harvard perhaps? (ours Is an ontario, but really £199 for an 8 berth SIG Khyam is incredibly cheap)

erm Peachy guess what?

PMSL

I knew it you spendaholic you!

Erm, how many tents is that now?

Well at least you can rehouse Stockport should the icenbergs melt suddenly pmsl

tee hee - I've joined the zig brigade!

well it would have been rude not to buy it at the price they were offering it for

we did resist the carpet though.

We have 4 now - sleeping a total of 24 people thinking of doing B&B....

We had a 'carpe diem' moment and thought, well who knows what's going to happen in the future - we will sell the Colorado 8 on ebay though.

Ah we love our Outwell carpet.

Dh thinking of the Norfolk apparently how come I didnt get a say? I WANT a Vail!

We thought about the Vail too, but didn't see the point of exchanging a perfectly good polyester tunnel tent for another one - hence the 'upgrade' lol

I can't wait for it to arrive now, I'll take lots of photos to put on my profile.

Do feel a bit treacherous to our Colorado though, she was so looking forward to going to Cornwall

I've just seen Lakey on ebay for £650, we paid a lot less than that!

Its £650 or so at Taunton Leisure isnt it?

we paid

£669, somerset camping

have you seen this little lovely www.tauntonleisure.com/products/peridot-air-tent/26/here PMSl

envy?

yeah right

imagine, one pin and / or hedgehog and whoooosh

lol very practical on a cliff top in Cornwall.

Or indeed in this weather generally

wonder why they still have them instock, any ideas?

as life rafts?

you could strap one to the side of your tent a la lifeboat on a cruise ship!

See! the planning crisis solved- how tor ehome polpe on flood plains without worrying about insurance.

Sorted

Seriosuly though what a crap way to blow £100!

We bought a fabbo 2 x 2m fleecy waterproof backed picnic rug from Costco today to use as an 'in-tent' rug / emergency bed cover

oooh and i have a new windbreak
it came yesterday
it's a traditional beachy type one...but with metal bits on the tops and bottoms of the poles.
Oh and most importantly...it's all harlequin checks...v pretty

at peachy's carpet

It is nice. Filly thinks it is hilarious, but really its just a fleecy picnuc rug that just happens to actually FIT the room exactly 9which is amusinga ctually as its ofr an Outwell nevada iirc, but Outdoor Megastore sell also for the Khyam as it fits brilliantly)

Forgot it once- wouldn't again.

...and the sodding trailer lock doesn't fit our trailer so I'm going to have to force myself to go back to the shop ..... shame.
