Ok, so we're in the camping shop, looking at canvas personal accommodation (sound so much more upmarket than "tent") and there's this super looking one.

The thing is it says "4 man"

Well, there's no way in the world I would share it with 3 other women, in such close proximity.

So how close do men get under canvas?

[i]The caravans 17 feet, it's the one I hitched up to the Onion when we went to Cardiff to watch the rallying
Carefull Steve I might park on top of your tent [/i]

From convrsatons ive had alcohol will play such a large part of the weekend it really doesnt matter...

i will be sleeping on the Lexus put up bed in the hospitality unit... watching TV in bed while all you guys are outside!




tell the truth i am driving home!

i have a condition... jeckle and hyde mate!

[i]Aslong as you don't end up sleeping in a ditch or the bogs[/i]

the benefit of having a very large car like mine is the comfort and ease of driving many miles.

I do find the IS tiring.. i am tall and chunky (lately coz i gave up smoking grrr)... its like a living room in my car.. arms and legs everywhere!

might cost a tad more to run but 1st class ride for 1st class money!

In answer to your question...

I havent camped for 13 years... but I remember a 2-man tent really was for 1 person, a 4-man for 2 etc....

The last time I tried camping (in 2000) I gave up after one night and paid to upgrade to a static caravan...

One piece of advice for JAE, don't leave it until 11pm after many cans of Stella before attempting to put up the tent as I did last year. Gave up in the end and slept in the car....

should be warm enough to sleep on the ground lol

nothing like the fresh air and peaceful surroundings...

oops forgot about the other revellers at JAE, maybe a tent it will be

If its' anything like last year you won't be able to sleep anywhere due to the noise from the club, cars and drunk people.

what about that guy who walkeed across the field and then in the middle of it just flopped to the floor and slept their all night.. no sheets, pillows... just the grass!

and lots of insects crawling all over you!

thought i recognised you from somewhere

New plan....

Bring Mrs Mop... her sister lives just down the M1

No night under canvas for me

Right them changing tack somewhat, but after the tent, what else will we need?

All suggestions gratefully received

We have - an inflatable mattress

and that's about it

Some air to inflate it with

Ok, so we got air

Next?

Assuming you have pegs for the tent and bodies to put on the mattress

How about sleeping bags / duvet or whatever + pillows ... ?

Jeeperz, i seem to have come over all sensible ....
Stand by ... i'm sure it'll pass shortly

Sleeping bags??

Married status does not usually bother you Steve

does when the husband is chasing me out of the house!

Right then - we need to bring.....

Air - some form of tyre inflator
Sleeping stuff - not a problem
Alcohol - already in the car waiting
Unmarried females - hmmmm, that one could be problematic

Unless I tell them you drive Lexus - might work

i only need one... hehe
