Camping at Norden July 2012

This was my first camping trip and the first for all of us in our new tent.  It is an Outwell Oakland XL.

Uncle M booked to camp down here and so Daddy thought it would be a great idea to join him and get a bit familiar with our camping gear at the same time.

We did most things right but it would be really good to have a proper cooking table and we definitely need a bigger car or a roof box.  The tent is lovely and spacious and we even have a nice carpet inside.

The only downside was that Daddy had to go to work because there is a leave embargo during the Olympic Games.  It would have been ok but they called him out on two evenings so he was very tired!

Still, we had lots of fun and Mummy took me to the beach and a big castle with all the others.  I even played ball and chase games with Oliver and James on the camp site.

Daddy was very amused when I woke up at 5am making moo cow noises because all the animals were starting to wake up.

After the trip the National Trust probably reported a lot of sand missing from the beach at Studland..........Daddy said he found it in the back of Mummy's car!

Daddy's little helper gets stuck in.  The tent unfolds for the first time

I love my little folding chair

We had a lovely meal in the campsite restaurant

Here I am monkeying about in my bedroom.  We have lovely comfy mattresses and a big bedroom

Here is Ollie diving at Uncle M

We had a lovely run around and a beer outside the first evening we stayed at Norden Farm

Here everyone is thirsty

Nana and Granddad visited us every day which made it even better.  This is Uncle M's camp

This is my Nana at Corfe Castle

Here nana and Granddad are trying not to get blown away!

Daddy took this at night at ISO 25600!!!  He is warming my milk and making tea.  The moon was out too
