The view from our tent on some farmland in Dartmoor owned by an uncle of my wife. It was the first camping experience for my wife and five year old daughter

Very Famous Five. Was there lashings of ginger beer?

What about hammocks? I hike and camp quite a lot and much prefer a hammock to a tent.

I have a Hennessy Expedition:

That looks perfect for shore trips when we are island hopping with the boat in Indonesia ....

looks like your "expedition" version is about right for equatorial rainforest and beaches, if they keep the mozzies out then they will keep the sand flies out too!

Nice one, i find other camping forums a bit odd, i can see myself 'camped' here for a while.

Perhaps we could get a sticky going for recommended sites?

Cheers Garlick, nothing to do with my FB pic from last week of the new Caravan I hope I had a great first weekend away in the hastily brought Gumtree caravan, proved to be fun but like most cars, needs somework. lots of niggles and now I have something else to tinker on. Hopefully this will become a good resource as said most van forums are dire.

I will add my pics to the other thread. And prob start a jobs niggles thread as my list for ebay itemsis growing rapidly! Also raided GoOutdoors on Thursday for needed parts and it was a good experience.

Liking this. There seemed to be a bit of a gap for outdoorsy camping/hiking type stuff.

It is great, very light, can set it up and repack it in seconds (with practice) and completely water / sun / insect-proof. Also the design allows you to lie pretty much flat. It is assymetric and you lie on the diagonal. Not like normal hammocks where you are bow-shaped. I have slept it it in rainforests and on beaches (watch out for falling coconuts!).
