Yep. Works like a charm for us too.... Scares the wildlife a bit though!

make a well earned cup of coffee and take in the air and then go for a walk around the site - regardless of whether we have been before or not!!

Well I practised putting my new tent up today in the blazing heat.... After 45 mins and 10 mins admiring I needed a shower!!!! Oh and I had a pint of water swiftly followed by a beer!

Pitch the tent and get everything sorted. If we are there early, I then walk round the site, then explore the wider area.. If we arrive in the evening I start cooking. (And drinking!)

walk the site to check the other tents out

finding something for the kids to do to stop them whining "i'm hungry" etc lol

we normaly bribe ours with crisps . that does the trick

We usually pitch the tent and get all the gear unpacked and put in to place, then it`s a walk to suss out the campsite and eye up all the other tents. Depending upon what time we arrive, we either cook our evening meal or get a takeaway or fish and chips, then it`s time to sit and chill with a beer.
