it was quite breezy when we put it up, but i only put the front three and rear one guide ropes up, as we were just testing it.

you can see on this vid that in true blue peter style i made earlier.

the tubes are encased within tubes, and encased in zipped tunnels to keep the pressure in, so you cant pop one accidentally.

you get a pump with different nozzles for your airbeds and stuff as well as the tent, some seam sealant (just in case) and spare guys, loads of HD plastic pegs and an oversized bag.

a great time was had by all, the tent is amazing. 10 mins to inflate and another 10 to peg out.

the view from near the tent

we had a walk round Newark

and being a good parent, we ate our lunch sitting on a dolly containing a hydrogen bomb.

coz we couldnt get to the nuke...

where i joined up...

the rupert school

we even strayed into lincolnshire

GedsJeep · « **Reply #25 on:** July 30, 2015, 09:24:38 PM »

then across lincolnshire

where we saw these

and had a look at the church.....

then realised that there was no way i could get all the stuff back into the car, so drove to watford to buy this....

and stopped here on the way back

its fair to say we rather enjoyed ourselves.

Really pleased you all had a good time. Nice photographs.
21 years ago I was camping in west Scotland solo on my Honda 750. I heard a plane but couldn't see it. Next thing it overtook me from below. It was a Tornado flying through a loch below me. Awesome sight seing it from above.
Fingers crossed for the weather. We camping in Robin Hoods Bay in 10 days time. Kids love camping, I recon it's the freedom they have.

that tour of the RAF bases takes me back to my days as a roady for a Dj show in the mid 70's went to all those bases plus the yank ones as well. the strangest one was RAF upware. there never seemed to anyone there till we had set up then people would appear. then disappear again. most of the bases had some activity but upware never seemed to.

Tents! Commoners and riffraff use tents...
One just applies ones handbrake and one is sorted.
