DuffieldDownunder Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Awesome.... we also sold or threw our camping gear in the UK... looking forward to re commencing here. Are the shacks free to use? Did you take a tent? What prep did you do to get the car on the beach? I'm nervous of getting stuck (I did bring my British Shogun / Pajero with me ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm nervous of getting stuck (I did bring my British Shogun / Pajero with me ) There was no props at all with getting it on the beach...sand was pretty firm. yes we only have a little diddly tent at the mo. Didnt want to spend too much on our first trip just in case...but I'm totally loving it already. Funny thing thing is at this campsite...we are surrounded by poms..even the guy booking us in was Scottish.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fifi69 Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 does it get cold at night in a tent like it does in the UK? like do you need a good sleeping bag? Can only speak for now...but right at this mo I'm sat out in shorts and a little tee shirt and its 9.45 pm...been mega hot today. We only bought a little starter type tent...but basically you can unravel the outer sides and let the breeze in. No way are you going to feel cold.
