That part of the world is fantastic. We were somewhat wearily contemplating another trip to St Malo/Dinard (the undisputed godfathers of breton tourism), when I scrolled out of google maps and discovered that there was this whole west side of Brittany by the coast
Tranquil, beautiful, highly friendly. What a lovely place. Fantastic food too for the modern equivalent of pennies. A notable absence of English in the tourist office* suggests its not competing against St. Malo for visitor attention. 5-stars+ , would/will do again.
* it has become the thing I detest most when I speak to someone and they go 'its okay we can speak english'. Normally adds about 10 minutes to even the most basic conversation as I then have to help them translate their French into English so they can participate in the conversation. And then to rub salt in the wounds to have to appear thankful to them. All done on their part out of friendliness, but still..."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

It seems, and maybe this is obvious to everyone, that you can stay in a holiday camp in your own tent for next to nothing. Get full advantages of all the facilities. So for €120 we can stay here on the busiest weekend of the year. Its normally a lot less.
The clear risk is how painful is it going to be to stay in a tent with a 20 month old (and a five year old who only appears less problematic due to the favourable contrast with her younger brother)? Tried to minimise it by going for one of those tents that have two rooms (below), but theres a very decent chance we'll last just the one night and then chuck the tent in the bin.
No beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity, but I know none, therefore am no beast.

It can be great fun Hitch but you need to have all the extras to make it comfortable for everyone and make sure you go for a shaded area and get a breeze blowing through as tents can get very warm at this time of year in your part of the world.
Generally you save very little the first time you go as you need to buy a lot of gear. Air mattresses, cooler box, cooking setup etc etc but if you do it right and let the kids "help" it's a huge adventure and they'll have great fun. If you cheapskate the Mrs will never agree to go again! Lol.

Got the mattresses, but forgot about everything else. yikes. A problem is the inability to drive, and needing to carry everything.
Tents usually take me only 3 - 5 mins. Mind you haven't tried setting up a complicated tent like the one in the photo.
Just the two rods for the frame and chuck some rocks in the corner and don't bother with the stakes.No beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity, but I know none, therefore am no beast.

Get yourself a Kelly Kettle. http://www.millets.co.uk/equipment/1...7vRhoCw-jw_wcB
Basically the most impressive and basic piece of camping gear I've ever seen.

Been camping for 30 years now, feck all that boy scout shite, festival camping is the vibe you want to go for. A few simple rules, get the kids to set up while you sit back and judge their efforts. Tents are for sleep and shelter from rain, nothing else. Pubs are better rain shelters than tents.
Bring a barbecue for a bit of cooking of food that was prepared at home and more importantly to use as a late night fire, other than that eat in restaurants. As regards kids and food let them do their own shopping, that way there will be more than enough crisps and sugar to keep them happy through anything.Turning millions into thousands

Doesn't sound like camping if you bring everything. Do you bring a trouser press and mints for your memory foam pillows too mates.

I was under the impression it was going to be more complex than that. The whole things a scam.

Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To... View PostOne thing though, and its worthy of a second post. Its about kids swimming. We put the younger kid in a chair that sticks to the bath floor when washing him, and never leave the five year old unattended in the bath. But my wife has this weird thing when she sees the sea: suddenly its: off you go, have fun. I just can't work out the logical disconnect between the safety measures taken in a mere bath vs the seeming willingness to let nature take care of the kids when she sees a wild body of water.
Although now all 3 can swim pretty well. The youngest taught herself basically with encouragement from us. We go to the beach at least twice a week and she is in the water for about 5 hours and just loves it.
Get the little one used to swimming soon and you will be able to relax and enjoy the beach with them. We went to a Lido here last week and Aimee was jumping in the deep end and just swimming as soon as she got in. A year ago she was clinging to my legs with arm bands on!

One of my current work projects is a health and safety "Bot" that can deliver safety inductions in whatever languages we need, answer common questions etc. Will need a hell of a lot of input to start with, met with MS guys at a trade show and they were only too happy to get involved. Trying to make it as interactive as possible, touchscreen areas to identify hazards, CCTV from our own system to show near-misses and good/bad practice.Low fee Euro/UK money transfer, 1st transfer free through my referral

Also what was the rational behind not putting a roof on the Cork one?
No pint adding capacity to thomond,only fills when munster going well and just for European matches mainly at that

Semple makes it four stadia with decent capacity. Thomond is a perfect size and won't be touched.
