A fitting end to my 20 yr old Vango? ... veteran of 4 Glastonburys.
My son took it to north Wales recently, it got shredded in the wind, boo hoo. I got the blame for lending him a 'rubbish' tent!

Will you be cycling over? We've taken the bikes via that route a few times and have always been treated well by Stena.

No. I may bring the bike, but we'll be using our camper van - my wife doesn't even cycle, never mind doing so with what we'd need for camping (and as said above, we no longer camp with a tent
Maybe I'm going to the wrong campsites then, as this is something that even at festivals, is almost non existent in my experience - !
But wildlife noises, we don't have a problem with.

Devon you were great, the old ovlov averaged 45mpg towing that lot surprisingly considering the traffic down the M6-5!

Last minute camping trip at the weekend, making the most of the dry September evenings...
On to the Circe Helios Tandem, Carry freedom trailer with a Zarges box on top for all the gear.
Two hours later, set up and enjoying a goujon supper on top of the Zarges camping table. We even brought little chairs this time.
Then it was around the corner to Pirates golf under the floodlights. The best crazy golf in NI for sure.
Next morning, up at away by 8:30am, stopping by the Belfast big fish on the way back.
No drama, total success

Had a few days at my favourite coastal campsite recently.
The site was full the time I was there, but I was the only tented occupier, every other couple; it's an adults only site, was in large caravans or equally large motorhomes.
Am I missing a point - ?
After a particularly rubbish couple of nights this year where it seemed having a campervan was an excuse to (a) behave like a drunken nobber all weekend and (b) slam the door closed every time even in the middle of the night we'll be choosing our sites carefully from now on.
We have Adult only sites, how long before someone starts a 'No Campervans'?

There are tent-only sites. I don't think there are any which allow caravans but not campervans.
If you observe the choice of tent sizes recently, there appears to be a trend towards couples getting bigger and bigger tents.
Not at all unusual for them to have a six - eight berth tunnel tent with all the bells & whistles; tables, large chairs, cookers, fridge, glassware, telly, etc., etc..

Yeah last go around there was a couple next but one to us that had that, by coincidence they were also part of the noisiest group on the site (the rest of the group were in Campervans).
Its pot-kettle-black for me on the TV though as years ago we tried taking a very small (think 5-6" screen) TV away with us, god knows how my dad powered it but he did and I was overjoyed at the grainy programme I found about badgers, or pottery, or something equally daft lol.
