Camping Ideas and Tips

If anyone likes Kyham gear, they have just announced a "March Madness" deal where you can make an offer for what you want. I just got 20% off the awning canopy that I've had my eye on.
Remember, they were offering 33% off everything at Christmas, but I wouldn't expect that to still be the case as we approach camping season.

All my camping hacks are very low-tech I’m afraid… One cheap low-tech hack I find good for warm evenings, when sitting out with a glass of wine, is wine glass lids to keep little bugs from landing in my vino… I use Bonne Maman jam jar lids - other lids might fit but I like the gingham picnic pattern on the Bonne Maman brand. The lids fit just as well on my plastic Halfords camping wine glasses as they do on my regular glass wine glasses and even on my Waterford crystal glasses. Cheap solution to bug free wine

The best hacks are invariably the low-tech ones.

5 mins effort and marriage saved - just done a job I've been meaning to do for some time, after many occasions where rotary clothes airer has collapsed in the slightest bit of wind, resulting in dirty washing and much amusement for neighbours in adjacent pitches ...

Drilled through the plastic and pole to the upper and lower sections and fed a cable tie through.

This'll do for my van & skiing trips . My fish& Chips, southern fried chicken and scampi will now be sorted. 900w the Delta2 will eat it.

@Mick. Glad you've decided to go on a health food kick at your age! Mind you, it does sound good.

Got the same setup, except I've got a grill box where you have a grill plate. Just need a van now to try it out.
