Glamping

[ilovemydogandmrobama]

What do I need to know? Have been invited for a week glamping with friends (and about 10 children)

Roffle @ bramblebooks.

I also have a little woven rug. And solar powered lights at my tent entrance.

And overhead led lights across the tent.

Camping has got much better recently.

It's all a bit to me. I like my duvet at home, but think tea light chandeliers in a tent is bit, um, weird....

Think I will bring a cashmere blanket though and possibly a bottle of cava and my flannel jim jams....

What a fabulous idea!

what a pile o shit

You will have a brill time Ilovemydog - camping with friends and 10 children is always fun. Don't let people with no style like me put you off.

Snort at "Sam was asleep on a four-ply cashmere blanket 90 seconds later." from that article!!!

Have fun, a little part of me is sucked in by the hype and thinks it would be lovely.

If this summer carries on like this it probably will be.

i bet there will be no buckets, these people don't have bladders.

where are you glampin'?

At the weekend..the woman in the tent next to us had a full size wicker table and chairs and a parasol.I have never seen so much stuff.

dh and i were

She still packed up and struck camp quicker than dh and i (why does it always take us to long!)

@ 4 ply cashmere blanket
poncetastic!

Actually...i'm just jealous really

I'm sort of jealous too. The pictures in Wildy's link do look rather appealing, in a dreamy swallows and amazons fashion. Kathy is right though, a skinny, pale girl with long tangly hair on a swing or looking in a jam jar at tadpoles seems to come as part of the holiday, whether you are related to her or not.

I still can't work out how they fit it all in.

ilovemydog I'm sure you'll have a brilliant time. Please take notes though and feed back.

Bit by the pic of a child naked from the waist down on the jollydays site.

But am an old prude.

Haventslept I bet there is a 'naked from the waist down' ruling somewhere in the small print on that site.

"Naked from the waist down tuesdays are always polular at jollydays. We supply portable yak felt sitters so your bottom doesn't have to interact with the ground"

We have a Mitsubishi Grandis and I reckon we could glamp space-wise, if it were not that it goes against everything DH and I stand for
Currently we fill the space with inflatable canoes, toddler backpacks and practical things like that - I'm sure if we left them out we could fit in a chandelier.
Then we would have to build our own coracles, which would be much more glampy anyway.

lol at slubber

Oh my god

how have I missed this thread until now?!

and there I was thinking you lot where all glampers already, and now I see there is yet another level of absurd madness

Have to agree with you slubber that the website makes it look very appealing, in a dreamy Swallows and amazons sort of way. If someone organised it all and invited me along I wouldn't say no, but I wouldn't class it as camping lol

Reminds me, I grew up in the middle east and my family where invited to spend a night with some bedouin in the dessert.

It could be described as glamping I guess. lanters hanging all round the huge tents, floor covered with expensive embroidered rugs, sheep skins and large cushions, tapestries hanging on the sides of the tent, a sheep slaughtered for the occasion and cooked over an open fire, platters of rice, bread and salads to eat with the sheep, endless cups of tea in proper (glass) teacus served from popper teapots, trays of baklava for pudding.

Was fun!

Ummmmm baklava om nom nom.

chandelier. Poncetastic!
