Lol, I have a tent but doubt your blow up mattress would even fit in side it lol, might need to invest in a better tent for this year I recon.

But its a start bazil, I still need to book my time off for it lol.

bazil, have you slept on a double air matress before???? they kill me......

a couple of years ago, we camped in poole, and this couple turned up having just bought all their camping stuff on the way at halfords...so they put up the tent...ok so far, then pushed the mattress inside, ok..... then inflated it off a pump from the car....and the mattress was 6" bigger than the tent in all directions..
she was in the inside getting changed as he pumped it up... so there was this half dressed woman, screaming the place down & her bloke running round trying to make it all better....

my air bed only stays inflated for a few hours, ive got to invest in a new one as its rather annoying having to pump it back up at 3am lol

Camping is the best bit, means you can sit down and have a drink with everyone. Sod driving all that way and back in one day lol

I booked off Weds to Monday as soon as I got back to work in the new year, the van is booked Thurs, Fri, Sat & Sun night so got a nice long weekend down there.
The missus was moaning that I have booked this but not even thought about what we are doing for a holiday yet or when we are booking time off. Priorities my dear, priorities! lol lol lol

£2-300 dependant on Berth & length of stay. Well worth it as the hotel is getting v expensive now.

I was hoping for £40/50 for a night in a travel lodge lol but thinking about it I would have to sleep in the Sport in case some coonts try stealing it lol

Think a day trip is looking likely now

Leave it in Billing and walk out to the hotel, it's what I used to do. You can leave it outside the van with mine and Mark's, will be safe there. Or leave it in the club area, sure it will be fine.

Cheaper then a weekend stay in the Mint Hotel in Birmingham then! (had a crazy weekend birthday bash & ended up staying there all weekend lol)

Might look into that then actually.

Camping is all part of the fun. The Burgo's live just down the road and still camp! Says all you need to know imo.
