Well, unless Bengley is sharing his tent with an imaginary Tea, I would guess so.
Tea you need to buy a sleeping bag because I only have one.
You can get the stove fuel from most petrol stations, they are outside in metal cages.
That table is helpful Hezzy, should be able to get people sorted into tents now.

Uncle might have a few.
But they might be smelly.
I'll get one.
I might be able to borrow a 4 man tent from a friend if it's needed, but otherwise I have no plans on bringing one.
Argos advert in the paper offers camping requirement, seems really cheap.
Two man pop up tent, 15 Pound.
Four person dome tent, 25 pound.
Six person, 2 room tent 45 pound.
All half price, ideal for those who have yet to get a tent.
Those two men tents look awesome, may get one.

Bad quality I know but you get the idea.
I had a look into those 2 man pop up tents. Apparently they are actually of a reasonable quality. The only down side is that they're single-skinned, so expect a lot of moisture if it rains.
Yeah, reviews on all the tents on the Argos website, everyone says about the rain getting in, apparently they are great in the summer though.
You going to get one Harry, or thinking about it? I was going to get one.
No, I was seriously considering getting one, but I ended up buying a 4 man tent instead for about £30, but that was mainly so I had a bit more space (I hate being cramped up).

I'm sure one of those two man tents would be perfect, especially with the forecast saying we're in for a good chance of a nice summer for once!
That is niceeeeeee, reviews are good aswell.
I put it up on my own in about 10-15 mins on first attempt, very easy to put up. Looks good for a maximum of 3 people before it gets to cramped. Doesn't take very long to pack it away either. Weight is the only minor issue; weighs about 4-5kg, but that won't be a problem since I'm on a train for most of the journey.
That two man tent just POPS up, also it's small so will be fine in Metallics car :)
How long you gotta' travel?
About 1 hour in the car and then 3 hours on the train, and then finding a way to the campsite.
Ahh :P
Thanks to Metallics, I am straight there in the car. It's around three hours though.
There is a bus from Windermere Ferry to Grizedale, but I'm not sure where the camp site is from there...
I guess the hiking and exploration may start early for us.
Lmao :)
Will be worth it in the end though.
Getting tickets tomorrow, where are the london fags (bengley, acezors etc) getting the train from?
Euston, ask Ben tomorrow and he'll sort you out.

I can't believe you had to ask this after the number of times I've told you and the number of times it's mentioned in this thread as well as a screenshot in the OP.

You can sleep on the ground outside the tent if you're getting that
Fucking do it Tea.

Find a rainbow sleeping bag and you can go in the same part with Courage.
I'm looking good for this. I have a 2 man tent, Perhaps someone likes snuggling as much as I?
Music. Portable Speakers? Not too loud that we wake up half of the lake district, but not crap and tinny. Any ideas?

I thought the whole point in camping was to enjoy the natural environment.

I have a portable speaker that will last the whole trip, can be plugged into phones mp3 players etc. Was going to bring it, full blast, it will actually un-root a tree.
