Members bolty58 Posted August 21, 2020 Members Share Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) A week in the Pilbara next week. Just me and the missus. High twenties Celsius, unbeatable seafood, extraordinary scenery and wildlife (all the bouganvillea of different shades in bloom and masses of various parrots avoiding the winter climes further south). Wish it was for a month but too hectic in the iron ore industry at present having to make up the shortfall from Brazil what with Vale being crippled by the Covid situation. You won't have to put up with me next week and I shall be thinking of you all whilst sipping a Moscow Mule on Cossack beach. Honest.

Site Supporter MickyD Posted August 21, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted August 21, 2020 Definitely. My lad flies back from Crete on Saturday, lands in Manchester at around half past midnight on the Sunday morning. What’s the betting that midnight becomes the cut off?

If you're good for a few nights without electric then its lovely and cheap. On sites with full amenities then it can get pricey, the main cost is the outlay on gear. Taken us a few years to get full week kit (8 man blow up beam tent, full kitchen etc) and weekend stuff (smaller tents, decent and small gas hobs) The good thing about down South is that the weather is generally better so the season is longer, next week it'll only by 20/22 but at night you don't get that bite you get up north and we'll go on booking places into October.

We use them for weekend stuff. Camp is up in 15 mins. £30 for a two man I think. Worth getting some camping windbreaks as well - only £15. Give you some privacy. Its the cooking gear that can cost you, but campingaz do a range of decent grill stoves. Small gas cannister just clips on the bottom. Ours should have been bout £120 but there was a small dent so got it for £20. Poundland do decent kettles, water bags, groundsheets for your first time out and tesco do cheap camping chairs. Get a small folding table from go outdoors, cheap cutlery set from wilko and you're away. And pack loads of fucking noddles if with kids - cheap and helps fill them up as a snack.
