I only camping once a year and each year I wonder why.....until I get there.
I hate putting up my tent. It's huge just for me but we use the spare bedroom bot as the pantry area lol. I wish campsite had a service whereby half naked men came and put your tent up for you. I was sweating buckets yesterday!!
The rest of the day was OK except I forgot my airbed so had to buy a new one then realised I also forgot my towel so will have to buy one today.
I think I slept with the entire cast of bugs life last night and it's just taken me 10 mins to balance on the airbed as I try to open the zip to my bedroom so I can go for a wee!!
Still, it's tradition that we go camping for my friends birthday! |

Love it, as soon as I've finished the job I'm doing I'll be off to the new forest for a few days. I just bought a chemical loo for work which I'll take with me so no more freezing trips to the loos at 3am.
I hope the weather stays nice for you. |

"Get a trailer tent. One flip and its up, sleeping above the ground is more comfortable and some have fitted kitchens. 
I did say about that yesterday!! I really hate putting tents up  "
You're very accomplished at it though. My bed looks like a tent now. |

We're off to the new forest in September for our first camping trip. I have some doubts about the weather at that time of year but it should be fun.
We've got the obvious like tent, airbed, cooker. Anything else less obvious that we should take? |

Camping, my idea of Hell. Give me a comfy bed, no bugs, a bathroom, hot running water and electricity or it's not a holiday it's a punishment lol. I'm not outdoorsy, can you tell?? Hehe  |

We go camping, I also hate putting the tent up & the getting up off your air bed during the night to walk across a field to the toilet blocks for a pee but apart from that I love it, having sex & trying to keep quiet because of everyone around you lol is always a challenge x |

Hot water bottles to put in your bed before you get in it, really does make a difference. Ground sheets and more blankets than you think you'll need. I once forgot ground sheets and nearly froze to death overnight.
Booze....lots of booze.

You'll probably think at some point
"I wish we brought such and such"

A thick top to wear in bed over everything else & thick bed socks and if you have electric hook up then take a blow heater as you will need it over night & a bag to take into the showers with you to keep everything dry. |

That all sounds about right , we can't think of anything worse than the prospect of camping .
Well maybe there are a few things worse like having a tooth extracted with no anaesthetic , or sticking pins into ones eyes , but that's about it  |

Reading your thread made me smile sorry. I love camping and the out doors.
I stayed in Bude in April (like you for a birthday) I ordered a Chinese the first night as it was a little late to get the BBQ on the go and he came to my tent which I thought was very cool lol! |

Definitely agree that semi naked men should put up tents and do other chores for us. Maybe post in the meets next year.
I've not camped in a few years though used to love it. I'm not sure if I've grown too accustomed to luxuries now. Still, with seminaked guys around, getting the food prepared for us, cleaning up the bugs etc, then it can only be good.
Where are all the providers of semi-naked male servants? |

I've put our tent up just in my shorts.....however, the shouting and stress and general family putting up tent incompetence is not conducive to anything except watching and laughing. |

Been doing this for the past 15 years or so, Mrs N is really into it from childhood days and we've had some brilliant times and a few wet times too. Cooking a full English outdoors before a big trek is one of the highlights. Going to the toilet block at three in the morning isn't though. |
