Also peeved - we took our Vermont XL back to the supplier after the bank holiday weekend and had a refund as it had leaked earlier in the summer and they couldn't replace it.  We are officially tentless and can't go away at the moment even if we wanted to.

We're going to replace it but think we might wait for the 2008 models as there seems to be some exciting things coming our way.  We might even buy a smaller tent for short weekend camping so hopefully it might be nice for the next few weekends and we'll get away before the end of the season.

Fingers crossed - have a good weekend all those who are lucky enough to be away this weekend.

Weekend turned out differently than planned - we went away to the convention on Friday but only stayed the one night as we really hated the hotel. What we saw of the 'con' was fine - but neither hubbie or I wanted to spend another night in the hotel the con was being held in!!

So when we got home we rang the Cote Ghyll campsite in North Yorkshire (a site we had planned on going to next year) to see if they had any vacancies - they did so we went up there on the Sunday and had a wonderful 3 days relaxing & walking. Shame it's all over now, our last trip of the year and the camping gear has now all gone back in the loft - roll on 2008!!

Everyone else who went to the 'con'  had a great weekend - so in the end everybody was happy which I'm very pleased about!!

Well done for getting away after all. We've had our last camp this year - so sad not to be going away again

I'd like to get one more trip in but son has started playing in an under 7's league - has fixtures this weekend and in two weeks time and inbetween the kids have 3 parties to go to and on the 5th we are going to Disneyland Paris.

Will spend the next couple of weekends ferrying kids to 'fun' activities when I'd much rather be camping. The next 'free' weekend is the half-term one - somehow I think it will be a tad to cold for a tent.
