Thank goodness for that. When did camping become less about fishing, massive fires, warm beer, wrestling bears (admittedly I'm yet to wrestle a bear but as soon as I find one and my arm and toe get better)and all about bunting.

I blame country living and Kate Middleton.

If anybody sneaks bunting onto my bell tent in the night...

Then again, I have just invested in some candle lanterns,and a nice wooden storage rack. Oh dear they've got me too.

Don't know about wrestling bears, but if you tried taking OH bunting down you could be in for some wrestling with her.

Is that a 5m Bell? I did not get my new tent up today as it snowed last night and I can't have my new tent getting cold or wet. Hopefully tomorrow

Yep Campernic. From Karma Canvas, with a small side awning, which will be replaced this year with a nice decent sized front awning for outside cooking etc. Geoff
