    Default Newbie advice.

    Hi all. We dabled with camping in the past and have decided to get a bit more serious about it. We've bought a Gelert Beyond meridian 8 and a Corvus Porch. Have we made a wise purchase? Bit late to worry about it I suppose!! . Also I'm a bit concerened about pitch sizes with the set up we've got. Not sure on what sizes you get with various camp sites. We've yet to get a few more bits and bobs, where is the best places to buy from? We have a week booked at Watermouth Cove in Illfracombe at the end of the month, really looking forward to it. Hoping to go further away in our camping quests next year. Thinking of North Wales, Lake District or even France. Any advice would be most welcome. Many thanks peeps.
    Carl.

    Hi Minty welcome to the site.

    I'm sure you'll get on fine with the tent. No point in worrying about it now you've got it.

    Is this the one?


    If so then mine is a similar size and we don't have any problems getting pitches.

    Yep that's the one. Was asking about pitch sizes as I saw other queries about space, just wanted to ease my mind about it especially with the Corvus Porch as well.

    Ours is wider and we have a side extension as well. We get on fine.
    If it helps when you ring up to book just mention the size of your tent. I've found all sites very understanding and accommodating.
