I saw a tweet yesterday that got me thinking:

I was reading a forum post about the Boat and Caravan show at the NEC which said it felt like camping was the poor man's alternative to caravaning. To be fair to the poster, they were referring to the way the NEC show is laid out. The caravaning section is central and glamorous whereas the camping section is shoved into a corner and a bit drab.

I was browsing the Royal website (http://www.royal-leisure.co.uk/) and came across this directors chair with an added side table. It's not a big addition and looks like it won't affect the size of the folded chair a great deal but what an excellent idea.

We never sorted a good way to make coffee while camping, which to be honest wasn't a big issue

Just stumbled across these funky rechargeable lights

A week or so before Christmas there was the first mention in our house of planning camping trips for the new year and it wasn't me mentioning it

I found this blackout tent the other day and it seemed like an interesting idea

These aren't new but having just come across them again recently I thought I'd mention them
