A Spot of Camping

Well we finally dusted down my parents old tent from the 70s and took it on a trip to Sussex. It was just a one night taster to see how the old girl fared and I have to say for a tent of her age she stood up remarkably well. I slept extremely soundly after a night sitting with friends and drinking wine under the stars. I hope to take her on some more trips very soon.

Here are a few pics from the weekend (given the authentic poladroid treatment!)

    Looks like a fun trip!

    We had one just like that when my parents started to take us camping. We've upgraded through the years to a motor home named "Myrtle"

    Wow my parents had a tent just like this one, we had so much fun camping, not tempted to do it with my lot yet though.
    Love the pic's they look just right like that.
