Do you love camping so much.........

[FairyOnTheChristmasTree]

.........that you would ever do it without the DC?

Thats excellent value Peachy! Where is this place, we could all go and be old gits together!

EEEEk! We even say the same things online now!

At Christchurch in the Forest of Deam- a forest holidays site. Quiet but near enough a very good foodie pub (saracens Head- theye ven do asparagus rissotto on the kids menu LOL) to be a real treat.

Dh was going to take one next year but is looking at increasingly expensive tents (thinking about a frame tent now) and with a new baby, that's expensive enough LOL (though fiorst trip planned Whitsun, babs due easter.... insane? moi? nope coz entire extended family present to help hee hee hee)

Peachy, go for one of these:

Pennine Pathfinder - we have one and it's fab. Caravan on the bottom and tent at the top. Not quite as luxurious as a caravan but you get a LOT of space (especially with awning as well) but much easier to tow and store. Own loo and hot and cold water too. Proper sprung mattresses.

Also there's a Conway Crusader - very similar spec but different opening mechanism (I actually think the Conways are easier and quicker to assemble, having had both now).

Sadly we are limted by living in a 200 year old mill cottage- terrace with no aprking or garden access so it'll have to be something like the easycamp mykonos 8 for the time being, however next time we move a driveway IS on our list of necessaries for this very reason!

No, no, no ... I mean for your dotage when we're all off wearing purple at Christchurch

Ah yes, that's what i'd love then LOL

Ah wine...... sob.... (missing it atm, only 7.5 months left- sob)

congratulations in order then Peachy?

Ah did you miss that then? LOL

Yep, Easter

And then Dh can get the snip. har ahr har.

Rubberduck i'm at your pathfinder. DH and I have been looking at them on ebay. We had a Conway Cruiser and we loved it!!

yes like a shot

Ooh Peachy, I missed your news too - congratulations

We upgraded from a cruiser this year and I'm so pleased with it

The only thing I would say is that they do take longer to put up (especially with the Pennine mechanism rather than the Conway - plus it's easier to keep the interior drier while putting it up in the rain with the Conway) but we got a really good deal second hand for our Pathfinder so we went for that... otherwise we'd have gone for the Conway Crusader.

Oops, me too - congrats Peachy

Dh had the snip earlier this year

Congrats peachy. Does that bring you into the crazy world of 4DC's? ... DH is booked for his snip in October

4 yes LOL, so far 3 boys so think I will be having another of those
