    Smile Greetings

    Just thought I'd make a quick post to say hello... Just found this forum via a search for tent carpets on Google... Love camping... Love camping forums... Couldn't resist joining...

    Not a newbie to camping, just to this forum...

    Based in Derby, normally camp as a family on our own or with groups of friends... Had three trips already this year, another three planned... Starting this Saturday, with two weeks in Devon

    That's enough for now... Supposed to be working,

    ADL

    Of course it's all about camping!

    £30 is quite steep, although I've paid that much (and more) during the peak season in Cornwall... I'm based in the midlands, (Derby) and I've not camped on the east side of the country before so I can't help you with that site... Sure you'll enjoy it though (looking at the reviews elsewhere)...

    Work is just a means to earn the pennies to spend on camping stuff and pitch fees

    true,but we both are victims of the economic downturn(just lost our jobs)so we thought camping would be cheaper,I suppose if i booked earlier i would have got somewhere cheaper but hey ho .Any nice in derbyshire with indoor pool,not haven type places,for another time?

    There are loads of nice sites in Derbyshire, but I can't think of any with an indoor pool... Rivendale nr Buxton is a nice site, Callow Top near Ashbourne has an outdoor pool I think, although I've never stayed there... Are you from Norfolk way?

    HI AdL

    Glad you found the forum.

    Its great to get experienced people on board here..

    We (myself & wife) are dedicated Tenters, and go out to the west coast of scotland , 2 or 3 times a year.

    I have been tenting for 32 years now, since I was a nipper.. Love everything about it.

    The wife (Bigbogdog here) was brought up in the wilds of canada so of course she is great at the tenting and outdoors ...

    Have a good time in Devon

    cheers lwr
