The Annual T6F Pilgrimage to Bala Lake
It'll be like setting up a firework arena; everyone back far enough from the "fallout zone", with the addition of complimentary rain smocks like you get for the log flume at a theme park, which are "easy clean"!
I have a standard Kombi no bed no poptop and never been camping before dont own a tent or any camping kit at all, still not sure what im going to buy
We can help each other put tents up - to me to you to me to you lol
On arrival im going to scope out where all the members are parked and whos got the best cooker and loiter around them at meal times and tell the kids to put their sad faces on and rub their stomachs, i think it could work ?

We'll have a big ole tent attached to the side of the van which the kids will sleep in whilst me and the Mrs will be sleeping on the kombi bed in the back of the van.
The site charges £8 per day for day visiting vehicles. If the weather is nice bring any Kayaks, inflatables, etc., as there is direct access to the lake and river from site.
I would be throwing bread on top of the van and watching the seagulls dive bomb daveyb giving him a early morning wake up callNow I know where to 'knock 'n' run'..
Oven fella not a microwave. Oven works a treat when not on hook up.
I have a decent camping cooker but I think a BBQ could be a good idea? I will be heading down late Saturday afternoon as I have a work event to attend Saturday morning.
@Pauly when I went away last September if you remember, my awning broke and we had to sleep on the floor in the back of the Kombi as my bed wasn't ready in time! It was fine as we were on an inflatable matteress.
I now have a day tent instead of an awning and it's ace. I would get a couple of easy camp tents if I was you. They are cheap but good quality from what I can see from the day tent I have brought.

Apparently once you go Cadac you wont go back!!?? ;-)
Seriously, after going through a host of different camp cooking solutions, I am a definite Cadac convert for camping. However, I was looking at the full range in a camping shop yesterday and really think that the Safari chef that a number of people seem to recommend would be too small for us (family of 3) - Grillogas is a much better size for us.
