Summer holidays are looming

We got into camping as a couple last year, although I had been camping for quite a few years after my divorce, although my type of camping involved a bivi/basha type affair half way up a mountain and usually next to a stone wall, anyway we went out and bought a Halfords special £99 all in 4 berth tent, and our first outing in it was "Shell Island" in North Wales, I have to say we were very impressed with how comfortable camping can be these days. We booked into "Shell Island" near Llanbedr and at £7 a night we decided to stay for a week, they have a wonderful rule of no camping within 20 metres of another tent/family, so they don't pack the place out, we were stunned by the massive sand dunes and crystal clear water of the beaches, and the Snowdonia national park in the distance, the bar wasn't our cup of tea, it was a bit chav infested, but the place had adequate shower facilities, and a good selection of shops so you could stock up on the necessities, we decided to stray past the grassed areas and found a lovely spot in the dunes on a lovely grassy area parked the jeep up and set about erecting our tent, it was the most peaceful time I had had in a long time, we even cooked fresh steaks from the local butcher in Llanbedr, which were delicious, and by the time we got to Llangorse a week later because we had booked into the indoor climbing wall and adventure centre we were experts at putting the tent up, so this time around we are taking 2 teenagers and a 7 year old with us, and probably a black Labrador (Roxy) (God help us !!!) so it looks like another Halfords special is going to have to be bought, and no doubt the teenagers will stand by and watch their tent being put up.....and no doubt taken down......oh me of little faith
