My lad has finally got me to agree to take him camping. Not been camping since cub scouts some 30 years ago so I'm a little (very) out of touch.
Booked a site in the Lake District for 3 nights this BH weekend. I have had the some of kit loaned me, 6 berth tent inc canopy, carpet, ground sheet etc which will save me a few pennies as I don't want to buy expensive new kit if we hate it.
So far my list of kit to buy from 'Go Outdoors' tomorrow is as follows:
2x sleeping bags
2x airbeds
gas stove
gas bottle
2x chairs
1x table
Rucksack for day trips/walking
Insect repellent
Frying pan
Tent lantern
Board game/entertainment for rainy days?
Anything else that I should look at getting? /i don't want to go overboard on quality kit but at the same time I don't want to buy kit that will only last a couple of days
. Total novice with this so any help/advice is appreciated
