I use rechargeables all the time - have never exhausted them (AA-2500mAh NiMH like yours) on a single camping trip and recharge them in between.

I have a car charger that takes 4xAA or 4xAAA and recharges them in 15minutes so even if they got dim one night it wouldn't be a disaster!

The diablo if it's in it's original bag will have instructions attached to the bag, but it's worth watching the video and a practice run

Fab tent by the way!!!

I am a camping newbie and went for the first time last weekend.

We bought a coolbox from asda and I pre cooked my meals for Fri and Sat before we went. I put the meal for sat night in the freezer and the meal for fri in the fridge. I also put my fresh pasta, bacon, spare milk etc in the freezer then on the morning we were setting off I packed the coolbox with frozen food and ice packs. All the food defrosted in time and was lovely!!.

I also used fresh pasta because it only takes four mins to cook and microwave rice (you can cook it in a pan in about 5 mins)
