After a great Christmas with the family and a busy start to the year; with all the unpacking of the Karsten Tents ordered during the Autumn Discount period, we have nearly finalised our show dates for the coming months. We will endeavour to get around the UK visiting some sites from last year and adding new shows in areas where we have received lots of interest, for example. the Lake District.

Our display consists of eight Karsten's in the various sizes and colours, with different tent combinations and awning arrangements with tarps and other quality camping accessories.

Well, I have started the year off well by booking a return visit to Clippesby Hall in Norfolk during April for a spot of family camping. We were there last year and it's a great site offering all you need for the adults including pub as well as fantastic play equipment for the children and the larger ones amongst us. The on site facilities just make it perfect for camping and the small cafe is an ideal meeting point. We're taking some friends up with us this time, so a good time shall be had by all (Rain or Shine!)

We have just returned from a fantastic family break at Robin Hoods Bay , North Yorkshire; and I must say, I feel like I have been abroad. Arriving at the Campsite , our pitch was postcard material the view from our tent - simply stunning. The weather over the 1st weekend started windy and ended in strong gales over Sunday late afternoon and a Force 8/9 forcast for the night; still that blew the cobwebs away as well as a few tents, and the weather remained sunny for the remainder of the week. YouTube Link of Gales Bogglehole provided excellent rockpooling for the children, whilst the Moors provided fantastic walks and cycle rides for the fit. Average hill was 20-25% with a 30% decent into Robin Hoods Bay itself. Goathland where the TV series Heartbeat is filmed is a short drive away with a beautiful steam railway station. We found that York was a very worth while visit but took just over an hour by car. There was so much to see and do, we will definately be returning........very soo

Since seeing a 50 year old igloo tent at the Karsten Tent Display in Newbury we have been sent this photo from Anthony Kent who has resurrected his. He says "I have just resurrected our old igloo. It needed new zips, replacement for a lost canvas cap and reproofing with Thompson's Water Seal. It is amazing that the tubes are as good as new. Looking Good! A great little example!

Great News...... We are able to offer an Autumn Season Discount of 10% on all New Purchases of Karsten Tents. Please contact Camping Travel Store for further details Our On-Line Store is also now live, so please have a look at the Human- Comfort Range of Camping Equipment Click HERE to enter Store
