Christmas Tree 4725 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Cheers for the info chaps. Just reserved that outwell one at Argos which seems a pretty decent make and at a decent price. Now just the little matter of sorting the weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 4725 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Cheers Jackson I'll give that one a look however the consensus tonight was we might give Flamingo land a miss and head off to the lakes instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4725 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Well got invited to our best friends tonight to see them try and assemble a borrowed Vango something 8 man tent. Our job was to sit in comfy chairs, crack a few beers and watch. The assembling was bad enough before they discovered it wasnt a sewn in ground sheet at which point the wife of my mate went livid. It was all heading towards a no camping show when I stepped in and showed them the video of the outwell Toronto at Argos. They suggested I go and pick up my reserved order which we did. As per the video it was up in 15 minutes and was superb. Queue my mate forking out £179. Well worth the money though if his family enjoy their first proper camping trip.

JawD 99 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 If you got to the lakes you have to expect rain at some point I love the Ullswater area personally. Thinking of heading up Amble way next weekend, anyone got any decent places up there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Just back from bobby shafto's. Lovely weather start to finish. Would have been perfect but for the other people on the site. Why do caravaning folk think random people want to talk to them? Luckily a combination of ignorance and contempt soon gave interlopers the message.
