Haha. We (3 car loads of folk) once drove for hours to a beauty spot beside a loch for a barbecue to find we'd forgotten the cool box with all the meatstuff in. We had rolls and cheese slices.

In all honesty it was a bit tight. If it was raining it would have leaked because my feet were touching the end...

It did it's job - it's back in the cupboard now and I believe that is where it will remain :D

But you survived to tell the tale

P.S. It's a Dreamboat isn't it

Perhaps we could have a new thread on camping morality/fairy tales?

The Princess and the Pee Bucket?

Sleeping Beauty (that's you in the pink with the wonderbed)?

SIMderella?

Yeah its a dreamboat. Yum. Funny time when your bed is 4 times more expensive than your tent!

Camping morality... hmm I'm a single girl...i can do what I like (as long as it's either before 11pm or in silence 😁)

I don't suppose you could do much in a tent that size, tho' - it's the camping equivalent of a chastity belt!!!

I'm sure you've read this, but I refer you to the 'Nookie in a tent' thread for words of wisdom
