Well I'm working away from home and just realised I've broken my camping record of 14 weeks although I go home at the weekends.
I might still camp next week but need to keep an eye on the weather now.

Even more remarkable is my Outwell Nevada 3 has now completed c105 weeks of camping. Ok it's showing its age now used to be be blue but now gray but it's still waterproof a couple of small rips and I've replaced 1 pole what an amazing tent it's been.

I'm retiring it now for use as a play tent for the grandkids it's still got a few pitches left in it.

Cheers baddab

Still have another 2 trips to go before the year is out.

A long weekend in November 2025, and over the festive period in December 2025.

My elderly cat crossed the rainbow bridge in September 2025 and I do not feel so guilty going out and about camping with the dog anymore while she stayed at a cattery.

Been there, done that, camping in a tent in the colder months. Easier with a van nowadays - no more trying to dry a wet and heavy 4-berth cotton canvas tent in the shed!

Enjoy your trip next week over the October 2025 half term school holiday!
