Dried out yet?
« on: June 23, 2007, 04:30:34 pm »
We've just managed to dry the canvas tent out and pack it away, we currently have the kitchen, dayroom and shower tents hanging from the carport drying out! 

I don't really mind a wet LM but it would have been nice to get the gear packed away dry  :(

How's everyone else doing?

Managed to get packed up early on Sunday morning and missed the rain by minutes. Have not unloaded the van yet- cannot face it yet.

Hi Piglet,

Luckily we managed to pack everything away on a dry Sunday Morning.

But I'm having big trouble trying to dry myself out internally, pass another wine please.

I can offer a rather sick mis-firing SAAB V4 and a cammy MG if your stuck. Not quite as nice as Judd and a vette but better than those bloody oil burners!

Just have to say another big thanks to Neil NoPanick for picking up the pop up tents from Decathlon, every body was so impressed that anothet two appeared on our site and much hated tent dispeared. All were totally water proof (except for one plonker who managed to leave his zip open - thank goodness for my tesco special blow up matress!) Although I was the only one who mastered folding them down! any how pinged them open again on Tuesday just to give them an airing and ready for the next adventure - maybe Sebring........................

Well I'm all dried out.  But not packed away.   I put the tent up again in the garder to dry it out.  But it rained before I had chance to pack it so it's still hanging in the garage.  May be next weekend.  >:(

Did not bring tent back toi dry as the zip on the outer canvas went, so I left it for the pickies.
Still have a few bits to pack away, or maybe put the all together ready for 2008.
I hate packing away after LM :'(

My tenlurking in the shed, dry but need the grass to be dry so I can fold and roll it up, and get it back in the bloody bag!

Why are tent bags so small?!
