Considering Camping?

British summer time is here, and no doubt many peoples thoughts will turn to where to go for their summer vacation

. Sunning yourself on a relaxing beach holiday may be an attractive prospect but with the recent grounding of air traffic and sterlings deterioration in international money markets, you may be considering a holiday within the UK.

Many people love holidaying outdoor and kitting yourself out with quality camping equipment will make the prospect of camping even more exciting. Its also very cost effective although there is an initial cost in purchasing your gear, you can use it again and again.

The range of camping equipment available can be dizzying at first. If you want to explore the great outdoors you will want to travel light, but if you plan on taking the whole family then comfort may be a deciding factor. Talk to us at Outdoor World Direct, and we can advise what camping equipment is best suited to you.

The most obvious purchase will be your tent. Whatever the weather, its important to remember that it will be cold, so the size of your tent is important. Although its tempting to go for one which is roomy, bear in mind that the larger it is the colder it will get at night. Only go one man bigger than what you need if youre tall or of a large build. Its also important to get a double-skinned tent, which will keep you dry. If you have to pitch your tent in the dark, you will thank yourself if you have one that is easy to erect. A lightweight Easycamp Phantom 500 tent is an ideal starter tent for couples or smaller families, and is well suited to weekend breaks.

If you have a larger family you will need something roomier. The Vango Tigris 600 6 man tent is an easy to pitch deluxe tent that offers great value for money. It gives your family plenty of room to manoeuvre and comes with a sewn-in groundsheet and a 3000mm waterproof coating.

There is plenty of other camping equipment to choose from - the only limit being how comfortable you want to be. There are areas where its best not to cut corners sleeping bags, for example. Its wise to invest in a 3 4 seasons sleeping bag, and a mummy design with a tapered shape will keep you that little bit warmer. An inflatable mattress will also help keep you warm; as well as the obvious comfort offered by it, the air in the mattress will act as an insulating layer against the ground. If you want a bedroll, get the thickest you can buy and invest in a silvered groundsheet.

If you want your tent to be a home from home, theres plenty of camping equipment available to make you comfortable. A torch or a lantern is a necessity and folding tables and chairs can make mealtimes more civilised.

Whatever your needs, at Outdoor World Direct we can recommend the best camping equipment for your holiday.
