We did it last night, as it happens, trying out our new Macpac Hemisphere! I'm very happy with it and can hardly wait to have some family camping in the hills now.
But I don't actually like camping, as such - it's a means to an end, and the end is not available just now.
The girls love it, though; they've already spent three nights camping in the garden about a week ago!
The weather has been remarkably good. It's really frustrating on one hand - the North West seems to be having an amazing run of it - but on the other hand it has made gardening, and our daily walks, very pleasant.
