Hi, I'm a total novice re:camping, only ever did it once as a teen with a church group.
Anyway, I always wanted to take the boys camping but dh (now ex) wouldn't entertain the idea so we never got round to it.
Now I'm really fancying it again and the boys (7 and almost 10) really want to go too.
I was in Millets yesterday buying some walking boots and had a look at the camping gear. They had a family pack with airbed, tent, sleeping bags and roll mats for £79. I know it won't be the best but I can't afford a lot. I just thought it'd be a good idea to buy now.
I'd really appreciate any tips, links to threads...just anything really.
I don't even know how to put up a tent but my bf is an avid camper and is over from the US soon so he'll show me that bit. I'm going to have a practise on putting it up before I actually go. No doubt that'll be next year?
I'll be using public transport to get to a site so I need to keep equipment to a minimum. The boys are good at carrying things though. We'll probably go somewhere local to start with and just do a weekend.
