DareToDibble Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 We have just had our tent up. Tell you what putting a tent up together is a true test of a relationship My door has a zip down both sides and one was broken. We’ve managed to fix it and it’s shut but might operate a strict “Do not use that side of the door” rule as there is no way I’ll be able to do that drunk!

My personal relationship favourite is unknowingly driving the wrong way into a McDonald's drive through in the van (no signs) , finding out they don't even stock what your wife wanted, discovering an overhang prevents you driving forward, reversing into a bush that cracks the bumper, and eventually getting out before going round the corner to shout at the van worse than Basil Fawlty with his mini. I'm now familiar with fibre glass and filler. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sedra Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 I know I should do a tents test since they have both been packed away since the epic 2016 ( 2017 it was just me and I took a smaller tent to fit the space my friends kept for me as I arrived later on Thursday). I know I should pitch both up to check and to do a bit of waterproofing but I am not sure I can be bothered ? motivate me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I can’t speak for everyone but putting mine up just filled me with excitement that the next time I do it will be on the farm! Get some music on, have a drink and set the tent(s) up. Maybe listen to a Glastonbury playlist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthbanKen Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 Tested the awning on the camper van last week and just spent 3 days in Rome doing between 12 - 20k walking each day. Also bought some cider tins although one of the boxes came open in my hands so now only has half the number of tins inside ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh eeekkk., have you tried that Espresso Martini ? Please try it before you go if you haven't already , I've just chucked a load of cans from 2 years ago - just couldn;t stand it :-( - maybe because I drink very rarely, but even the hardened drinkers in the gang didn;t like it :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as much as I thought I would be. Healing time 6-8 weeks, have doctor's tomorrow as may need a plate in it. Still going to Glastonbury, just a bit bummed that I'll likely not have use of my right arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank goodness you’ll still be able to go though. That would be my first worry. Fingers crossed for you that it heals quicker than expected.

Sorry could resist Haha no worries, blame lies with me for hurtling down a hill too fast. Luckily I am going with my girlfriend, her sister and my mate, so between them they should be able to manage. I can just sit back and drink beer supervising their tent erecting ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't tried it yet but thanks for the heads up. There were only 4 left on the shelf so I thought I best grab em in case they run out.

giantkatestacks Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 Went to my local fete today and the bins were overflowing so went to the organisers tent, got some bin bags, changed the bins and then picked up some litter. Totally ready for my Pyramid shifts. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
