Hello and welcome!

That's a lovely tent you have there - hope you get to try it out soon. Remember they're (usually) waterproof so don't wait for dry weather. It could be a long wait!

Hi Cornish Camper and welcom.

I've a foot in each camp I'm afraid, tenter and also tin tenter .

Just make sure your sleeping arrangements are good, comfortable and warm and everything else will take care of itself. You'll find loads of tips on the threads.

Thanks all. We may be trying it all out on a friends farm at Talland Bay this weekend. Hope to try a site over at Hope Cove in Devon very soon. We live on the Cornwall/Devon border so have lots of sites within an hour. The kids have just reached a controllable age so hopefully will really enjoy it. They are very excited. (As are we).
