The way the financial situation is going I reckon a lot of us my need to start considering buying camping equipment!!

Can't afford to sell the caravan - holidays are so much cheaper than B&B, hotels, or rented cottages

So I understand Martin and although my comment was really meant in jest, camping / caravaning is becoming increasingly attractive to me!!

In fact I have recently spent a lovely week in one in Blackpool ( at the Haven site) ; surprisingly, to me, it was very comfortable and cosy!

Static vans are OK - but if going in cold weather, ensure you get own with heating in bedrooms

Pikey wagons. No. Can't see any enjoyment there. Much rather use a decent tent, and do the camping thing properly.

I don't mind static ones either, you get to your destination much faster, and use less fuel...

Once in Belgium it was chucking it down, could not be bothered to put the tent up, so rented this 'cabin' is was bascially a glorifed shed, but it had 4 seperate beds, and a cooker and fridge. Cost us 35EUR a night all in for 3 of us! (same price for up to 4)

Also on the recommendation of Mr Kevin Wood, i purchased the tent he suggested for £79.99.

In the one we were in we had them in every bedroom TB, and a lovely 3 element gas fire in the 'lounge', and didn't we need it some days and nights!!!   I was pleasantly surprised how efficient the heaters were!

The Haven I went to in March (Lakes one, not far from one you used), had a leccy fan heater in bedrooms - not massively effective, but certainly kept chill off.  Annoyingly, had to press a button every 8hrs, else they turned off.

Main living area was heated with gas fire though, so lovely and warm within minutes.


Was a bit chilly in March (first week park opened), so heating essential.
