We're in Warrington, caught the M6 when it was quiet, the roadworks and 50 limit are still between J16 and J19 but a nice staight forward drive up, took an hour and threequarters.

I love camping

Me too!

We spent the night in the tent in the garden. It was mostly ok, it rained hard for an hour or so but we were dry, snug and cozy.

Sleeping ina tent when it is raining is one of the nicest things ever.

Unless there's a leak!

Well yes, but if there is gaffa tape is your friend. There is nothing you cannot fix when camping using gaffa tape or paracord.

Ahh the days of canvas and the shouts of "Don't touch the tent".

the sods who used to do that on your side of the tent whilst they stayed dry.

Spent a few hours up A&E early this morning, GF broke her foot whilst out drinking with friends last night
I'm going to be playing taxi driver for the next few weeks, Can't complain because her Qashqai is rather nice to drive and I can fit more bikes in it

Took the dog for a walk over Hednesford Hills, He's well and truly knackered now. He'll hate me tomorrow when he learns were not going to the hills, were going to the vets..

I'd try to get a tent that erects 'Fly First' if buying a new one.

I don't know what that means, too late now any way.

We have a bigger tent.

And a table.

And pillows

And fleece blankets

And a water container.

Some tents you have to put the inner up first then fit the 'flysheet' (outer tent) over it, not good if it's raining, others you put up the waterproof outer first and then the inner (sleeping compartment) is suspended on 'toggles' within that allowing that to stay dry.

Anyway, what tent did you get?

The big mower started. I got to where I wanted to cut the grass. It stopped and won't start again. I may have depleted the battery a little in the subsequent restart attempts

Back from the ride and the beer that followed, a most pleasant way to spend a Sunday. An old friend who I haven't seen for 4 years joined us, great fun.
