Spent the last few days trying to fabsil and proof the MM2 tent. First layer on, left it in the rain overnight. And had blummin puddles everywhere in the morning. Arghhhhh!!! Always seems to be an issue with the yellow - thinks it because it's a dark fabric paint as opposed to the light ones i use elsewhere
Gardens too small which doesn't help, so can't pitch the walls properly
Put a second coat on and gave it a hosing and seems a lot better. Altho tickle is still leaking, but think it may be where i hosed the zip (will soon find out at the weekend when the torrential rain starts)
Other garbage I have been doing is making the large double fleece
Compulsory storage bag and a spare...
Made a humungous duffle bag and a washing bag for camping
Put some stickers on the wood box (dynamite box evidently) i got at the car boot at Bude
And lastly a quick makeover on the camping cupboard
Earlier tonight I chopped a hole in MM2 for the woodburner. Haven't a clue if it's the right height as it was all saggy. Fingers crossed
Homer is very critical of my work
So all set (well not really, I haven't packed anything) for Exmoor at the weekend
