Have you mastered getting the base shelter folded back up yet? We had one of their 4 man "seconds" tent for a while - it was a bit bigger than your base and also had bedrooms, groundsheet, attached but it was a nightmare to fold backup!!
I got packing it away down to an art, I used to use it every weekend when I was competing at archery so have had plenty of practice. I have a second one with the inner sleeping bit and can link them together if needed.
Used ours to stay at a mate's house in St Columb; a party followed by a stag do. We had to walk home thanks to Cornwall's dodgy taxi system; probably about four miles. Then at about 2am a pile on (onto the Stag) seemed like a great idea; I somehow did a full head dive into a bramble bush and now have a face sliced to ribbons and stings everywhere - oops!
But the van was very welcome. The rest slept all over the floor in the house; I was by far the comfiest!

At least there was no Tiger and the Stag was missing when you woke up.
I honestly look like I've been attacked by a tiger!
About to head to a beach BBQ with a load of friends - this one will take some explaining...
Down to Wales yesterday & back today
Check for additional passengers!

There's one - his Mum is riding shotgun
Peed off a bunch of people... Closed the doors to the lift.. Those in already gasped, so I said.. Oi this isn't a bedsit you know! Sudden silence.. To which I replied.. Anyone heard of overloading these, or being able to beathe! Figure they passed the understanding English rudimentary test number 1... Was tempted to fart as well.. That would have been the next step... 
Rescued a dog near Rock earlier; had to strip down to cacks (!) and get the thing from a swift currenty (is that a word?!) section ; it was stuck in a rip.
That cleared my hangover!

Was it scared of being there, or you in your cacks! Lol..
Seriously.. Good on you.. Next time call th e coastguard though lol (tongue defo in cheek!)
I spent a while risk assessing it; wasn't too cold or far away, I'm a pretty strong swimmer.
Someone called the lifeboat but it was stood down before launching. Doh!
Most of our Coastguard shouts are for dogs. Mostly because owners try and rescue them.
This was pretty straightforward; any further or colder and I'd have left it to the RNLI.
Well getting off the boat was entertaining.. Same group.. Led by a moron.. Ahh we can get more in there.. Me.. Sod off! There's 15+ in here already.. ( another 15+ trying to get in as well, I kid you not!).. Your invading my personal space, and you DONT want to be doing that! Needless to say no more entered, oh.. And I had control of the buttons! 
Welcome to ENGLAND! Don't like it..
