We bought a tent two years ago, with the idea that we would use it at weekends to go to different parts of the country .... We got it at a fantastc price, and actually got the larger size for less than the price of the smaller size. How many times have we used it ....once ! We must make the effort..... Shame on us !

I loved camping as a teenager. I'd set my tent up out in one of our fields and spend the day reading in the shade... I don't really go camping anymore. Too many bugs/mosquitos that try to carry me away anymore.

It's a pity you haven't used the tent more. It's easy to get carried away sometimes.

Tent camping is something I never did a lot of, but simply can't do anymore. These days we glamp in a 39' travel trailer with all the amenities. lol

Shame on you right enough Mind you, last summer we never used the tent at all And so far this summer we have not used a tent either We have 3 tents All really good ones Yvonne doesn't feel up to camping these days so holidays cost a lot more
