Great you had a wonderful first trip, and I can see you have (almost) all the gear collected now - but there's always the roof box, the trailer, the bigger car...

Love the photos, looks like you had a great time.

Your poor wife though. I had a September baby, and I agree, being pregnant in the middle of summer is rubbish! Well done you boys for looking after her.

Those fans look like a good idea as well. Or do you think they would just move the hot air around the inside of the tent.....

But tell your son I don't think I'd be able to go to that campsite, because the ghosts just look far too scary for me!!

Hey Guys,
Thanks for all the nice comments

Kim and Jamie really did suffer. However it was Kim's idea to extend our next camping trip in August. So we'll be armed with fans and lots of ice packs.

I can't bear to part with my Corsa it's been a great reliable car so i'm going to fit a tow bar and get a small trailer. I'm sure that'll be fun on our Cornwall trip next year...1.0L corsa + Trailer + Hills= Fun

You should hear the ghost...frightens the life out of ya.

Cheers,
Shaun R.
