You know what they say about guys with big tents

Big families?

You should see the size of the pole I need to erect to pitch my tent!

10 under

Guys, Ann and I have taken the week starting 10/05/10 off together, not sure what we will be getting up to yet but I believe it wont include a 3 day pass out so please dont include me as any kind of 'support'.
Having said that, if we are not going far then I can see us turning up on the day for moral support.
Can offer the use of our 14' x 10' 1/2 room columbia Squal Ridge tent to anyone for the weekend, its roomy, can stand up in it and its in pretty good condition, last I checked

Regards,
Dave c

My tent is a coleman 4 man,it consists of two rooms [one at each end]and a large central section, total tent area is 4.6mx2.3m, smaller than yours :?
I also have a massive canopy that extends the front.We've never put this up as its been too windy and theres only the two of us camping,more bodies makes it easy though.
Though i have no issue if you want to puff away,smoke what you want
It's this one -

Ill bring a flat gas stove and gas light,its not the brightest but more than enough to drink by and it adds to the heat
Axe and saw also,if there is camp fires allowed,it makes all the difference to have this stuff.Now do i bring my chainsaw too :twisted:
Any other equipment you think we need pipe up,lest we forget[Tin opener]

Whats the deal with food-

Some sort of joint effort? or every man for himself

I'll bring the Banjo , i really dont get on with camping guys , i last did it at SSUK09 but only cause i really had to, always lucky if i get two hours kip and feel like shite the next day (or is that normal for camping ), will be driving up on the day, will get there mega early and waken you'se all up

The secret to camping is to get drunk before retiring for the night, nothing like a little anaesthesia

Surely even Jimi can do that
