Camp Stoves

As the weather starts to improve and the first rays of early summer sunshine come upon us our thoughts have turned this week to planning our first camping trip of the year.

First question to answer is where do we go?
Should we re-visit a tried and tested site or be more adventurous and look for somewhere new?

Living just north of Bristol we’ve opted for somewhere to camp in the South West and having done some research have come across a couple of campsites which we think look really good and worth a visit:

This award winning site in North Devon certainly looks a great unspoilt spot for a relaxing stay. The site appears to have a good selection of facilities for the whole family and what’s more their green credentials aren’t bad either!

This Cornish campsite is situated in extensive parkland and can also be found close to the beaches at Newquay and within easy reach of other Cornish attractions seems to offer everything you could want from a family friendly campsite.

Now we have some ideas on where to go, the next job is to locate the tent and camping equipment from the darkest recesses of the garage and check everything is working correctly. Do we have any gas left for the camping stove or is the gas bottle empty like the one for the BBQ/ (Which by the way we found out just as we were about to light it last weekend)!

What happened to the new Primus Eta Pot we bought last year?

Campsite selected, tent and camping equipment ready – all we need now is for the weather to continue and we are good to go!
