Farewell for now
Happy Valentines everyone!
I'm just popping in to let you all know that due to work commitments for the time being I'm officially handing over the Happy Campers HQ reins over to Tess. She has lots of exciting plans on the go so keep your eyes peeled for the further adventures of the Happy Campers!

p.s. We just had a lovely email from the folks over at The Private Camping Company telling us all about their new venture arranging private camping site for happy campers all over the Lake District. So if you're fed up of finding your favourite campsite fully booked and you've ever fancied your own private spot why not give them a go...

Hey guys
Long time no speak! apologies for our absence, we are bumbling along with our busy every day lives while dreaming of summer and camping and climbing trees and eating baked potatoes straight from the fire. sigh!
we're really happy that the site is a regular visit for a lot of you guys and we sincerely hope to keep it going without resorting to masses of adverts spoiling it all. so anyway keep up the reviews and the chats and we'll keep up the site and maybe one day we'll see each other down the campsite for a cuppa...

wedding discos and idyllic estates
This weekend just gone Tess and I packed up our family's and our camping gear and headed off to a lovely wedding in deepest darkest Devon. It was lovely to get out in the fresh air and catch up with some old friends. We camped in the grounds of the sort of house you dream abut living in and partied the day away in HC style.
our good friend Matt was there spinning a few toons and I just wanted to alert you to his (and the lovely Joel's) new record which I have to say is mighty tighty fine, check it our here...
big love to the Nick and the Emma, may they have lots more happy times!

WE WILL BE AT CAMP BESTIVAL!!
Yippee we will be at Camp Bestival which is a new festival organised by those lovely Bestival people. It set in the gorgeous Lulworth Castle near Lulworth cove in Dorset. Its all set to be fantastic with much more emphasis on CAMPING! The Happy Campers will be spreading lots of sillyness and fun. We are having silly morning aerobics with the lyrca clad lovelies at 8.30am. Then there will be daily workshops ...... how to make indian headdresses, bird kites, painting and decorating kids tipis. We will also be making a giant pinata throughout the weekend and then we'll hoist it up on sunday. we will also be running a tent putting up and taking down competition for all the camping experts out there. So pop in say hello, have a cuppa and put your feet up. See you there Love Tess and Kat xx
GOING DUTCH
Dutch Glamour decided to write a piece on us which is great and I love the extra images they've slotted in of young long legged girls, perhaps everyone will think we've had a makeover!
forum finds
I just added a two new campsites thanks to the eagle eye of a member who spotted one in the mirror newspaper and some more detective work from yours truly, involving actually reading the guardian I was about to stick in the recycling! can't believe I hadn't spotted it earlier, the travel section is usually the first section pawed through. and instead of one new campsite I find two, brill!

I also learnt of a really bargain bell tent discovered by Happy Camper Nic on a dutch website, you do have to battle with the fact that the site is in another language but for 186 euros with postage I think its worth it. heres the thread with a few tips on how to make sense of it all
go camping! but wrap up warm!
watch for signs of spring
