All help will be appreciated, we will be camping virgins!!!:rofl::eek:

Just got all my kit out ready to check over and realized that it's all military.

The only thing of mine that isn't camo'd is the tent. Gonna feel a bit silly on a civi campsite.

yes it would... much much quicker... set up your sat nav to favour motorways (if you can) and it'll take you the right way... :thumbup:

I will surely need a hand putting ours up, I haven't even seen it up before so we'll be struggling.

Give us a shout if need a hand.

Could have the ultermate tent challenge. How many tents can you put up in an hour

They'll be plenty of us to help.

Quicker for Appleby maybe, but if you want to get to Keswick, I'd go WEST from Penrith ;)

We're contemplating bringing our bikes with us on the rack but not sure if we'll use them...

And there's plenty of nice lakes near keswick btw! lol

Lake coniston is quite nice... have spent 2 camping trips round there!

The main lake ad Windemere is the one with the boats on (if anyone has a stagecoach staff pass you can get on free!!!!).

our lake is derwent water... you can hire motor boats, row boats, walk half way round it and catch the boat back ect ect... and yes, you can hire bikes too.... I have an old mountain bike that you can have for £100 a day ;):thumbup:

we could all pile down and take over the row boats for an hour :) if its warm enough you can swim in there too :thumbup:
