Putting up a tent Paul is very much like making love to a beautiful woman. You rent her, unzip the door, put up your pole an'... slip in to the old bag.

The EO tribe at a One mile fort on Hadrians wall. Just North of Haltwhistle

We did 3.5 miles along the wall. It was hilly, very windy with the odd shower. Good conditions for that type of walk.

The pub at Twice Brewed.

Huuur huuur huuuur I bet she did! Did she fix the tent afterwards fnaaar fnaarr <nudge nudge wink wink>Originally posted by EternalOptimist View PostWent camping with the missus over the weekend in a new tent. It's a Vango inflatable
Absolutely first rate, it went up in 5 minutes, in a strong wind and its rock solid. Just as strong a poles. But then one of the beams started to sag. We had a slow leak in one of the valves, I slowed it right down with some lip balm on the thread, but the missus had to get up at least four times during the night to pump the rascal back up.
We are definately going to stick with it though, should get a replacement inner tube today
