Hi all,
Well I thought I'd buy myself a tent ( Family Tent offer ) seeing as they are cheap enough now...
My problem is that I have never been 'civilian' camping, so don't really have much of a clue as to where to go, what to do etc...
So any pointers, tip, help etc would be gratefully received...
Thanks in advance for any and all help... |

Hi Andy - going with Tin Tent to Taz's this weekend
best way to try camping is with someone else, - (at a club meet) then, at least if you have forgotten somehing, or not sure etc then someone can help you out ....
for finding sites this is good http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/
hope this helps
