Not sure if you count this as camping but just had a lovely long weekend in this, got some great weather for walks too!

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..
I’d go as far as comfort and being about to sustain ourselves for a period of time in the tent when it’s raining.
Fridge, a 240/12v cool box is key for keeping milk cold for a brew! Essential🤣

Just added up, 26 nights under canvas this year inclusive of 2 more nights planned for early October. From none previously !
Nah, used condensed milk for years, thus no 'fridge required.

Folding table repairs have been done. We have two tables that fold out made from aluminium slats. Both have missing plastic end caps, which leaves a sharp edge. Bright idea, take all caps off the bigger table and replace the all the ones on the smaller table. A search on-line and find some slightly larger end caps. These arrived today. Popped them on and just trimmed off the excess. No sharp metal !

Post divorce, my ESVO pyramid tent is now back in my possession, it's more versatile in terms of packing rather than our air beamed tent as the package can be split down around the car. I've just got to pitch it and make sure there's no issues while it's been out of my possession.
We're looking to do the NC500 so I don't want to tow a trailer down single track roads.
We have planned Easter-North Wales, May is in the air as the FiL has had surgery and we may do a joint hol with them so probably N Wales but somewhere mobility friendly, in July the NC500 as our main hol....I'm sure there will be a couple of weekends here and there but that is it for the moment.
