Leatherman Blast - Multitool
29 Feb 2012 06:30

One tool to rule them all........ This is a great addition to any camping equipment and even just to have around the house or car. Being a Leatherman it already has pedigree and before committing to this I was also very taken with the Victorinox Lockable Combination Tool. What made my final decisions were purely based on what I require it for and with that in mind, and a young family with

Camping on Hard Standing - Guest Post
10 Feb 2012 07:30

We did a test-run pitching on hard standing last September and it was totally successful.   The week was a scorcher and we could have been on grass but the day we packed up the weather changed.  What a joy not walking round on wet and muddy grass while packing up! As the Karsten was a big outlay, the last thing we want to happen is it getting covered in mud. We put down two 3.5 mtr

Southwold - A Quick Visit
31 Jan 2012 16:30

I have just returned from Southwold on the Suffolk Coast, and must confess that it was not a camping trip. However, this is a lovely place to visit and our accommodation was a Victorian seafront house close to the pier and town. Famous for the Adnam's brewery, beach huts, light house and award-winning pier, this small seaside town was a delight to visit. There are various campsites in the

Small Fire, Warm Heart
23 Jan 2012 06:30

This is a little cooking unit that I feel will have lots of use on our camping trips. Light, compact and able to boil a small kettle in approximately 4-5 minutes when using the supplied fuel; it will also become a great little firepit when the night draws in. I find that no matter how big the fire, my back is always cold and infact its the sight of the flames dancing which offers the most

Compact Folding Spade
19 Jan 2012 21:18

I have been thinking of getting one of these and recently made the purchase, unsure of the quality that I was expecting. It arrived yesterday and I must say that for the price (under £10.00) I was pleasantly surprised. I have seen these put to good use on the campsite, from retrieving buried pegs to digging small channels round a tent to direct a flow of water. For me in my Cub leader role

Top End Farm, Bedfordshrie
10 Aug 2011 05:30

We have stayed at this site recently under recommendations from friends. It's within an hours drive from home and the weather was forecast to be good. The site was  busy on arrival and we parked on the hard standing as the signs depicted. A lady approached and asked how many nights we were staying for and we paid. Quite who she was, hopefully the owner, but who knows? We decided on a pitch

Going Basic
28 Jul 2011 05:30

Having been rather busy this year and using my annual holiday for tent shows, we have had to make fine use of my weekends off. Now, we are used to taking our trailer, a complete set-up and everything to ensure maximum space and comfort, but in order to cut down on the packing and to ensure we get away as early as possible on Fridays we have been going basic with our packing. i.e. if it does not

Ivinghoe Beacon
18 Jul 2011 05:00

Our returning trips to Town Farm Campsite set at the base of the Ivinghoe Beacon, but at the same time overlooking the Vale of Aylesbury seem to be enhanced every time. Apart from the stunning 360° panoramic views, the rustic offerings of the working farm mix seemlessly with campers. The friendly and enthuastic owner Charles ensures that your needs are catered for from arrival to offering fire

Bay View Eastbourne
4 Jul 2011 05:30

Well, not exactly on the beach, but within 50 yards....is a little gem of a site called Bay View on the edge of Eastbourne From the regimental booking of the site, to arrival and pitching, I knew that this was going to be a good site. You see there are rules, and these were being obeyed in a very relaxed manner. Again, the wardens were staying on-site. We arrived (late) and were greeted with

KTC - Midsummer Meet 2011
22 Jun 2011 05:37

We have just returned from this years Club meet which took place at Hopleys Camping on the outskirts of Bewdley which is situated on the banks of the River Severn. With the weather forecast to be atrocious, we packed the trailer expecting a re-run of the previous meet where all but one tent cancelled. But not this time... We arrived on site to the joyful sight of a grey 350 in all it's glory

British Leisure Show
19 Mar 2011 14:59

This was always going to be a challenge as we have never embarked on such a show. Setting up the Marquee in the gales that were sweeping the race course was really 'good fun'? But once up and staked down with about a dozen ratchet straps holding the thing together and on the ground, we set to trying to fit most of the Karsten's in our collection onto the rest of the stand. With us all set up and
