There was the time, many years ago, when myself and OH went camping and forgot the poles. We managed to buy poles from the site shop but it was an imperfect match. We spent the night, and yes it was raining, under an ill fitting canvas getting rather damp. We now prefer to stay in motorhomes or caravans! It was uncomfortable at the time but we laugh about it now. 

Do you have any family touring or camping memories that you look back on and have a laugh about?

    Last year we were on a site in Shropshire and with me being overdue for a haircut we had packed the electric hair clippers. As my missus was giving me the said haircut in the awning, I was saying (boasting) that I must be the only person in the history of caravanning to have a haircut in an awning. On completion of the snip, I went out of the awning only to find the bloke of the caravan next to us having his haircut in the awning!

    Never assume anything!

    My whole caravan history is riddled with errors. Possibly the funniest was the time I had hitched up and checked everything was fine. Went to get in the car and opened the back door by mistake. There were two ladies walking past and one commented "Should have gone to Specsavers".

    A few years ago we were wild camped in the Outer Hebrides, (can't remember which island). We had parked overnight on an old bridge over a stream which was a loop left after the road had been straightened. We hadn't seen or heard a soul all night so when I stepped out of the MH in the morning for a pee in the stream I was a bit surprised when a car tooted as it went past. It might have been due to the fact that I was naked and as there wasn't much I could do I just waved back!

    Bit inconsiderate. Someone downstream might be using that as his water supply.
