"We unloaded everything, put down our
groundsheets and collapsed," says Turner.
Jonathan Pearce bought the existing online camping business Breathable
Groundsheet in January.
Tipis, complete with
groundsheet and raincatcher, along with free use of the solar showers and discounted access to the yurt sauna, can also be hired at the Festival site for lodging for additional cost.
Every year I agree to a family camping weekend in Scotland and regret it before the
groundsheet is even unpacked.
I was very tired and put my
groundsheet down and went to sleep in the rain.
The design includes a storage area with a detachable bathtub
groundsheet for added flexibility, while there is ventilation at the rear allowing an airflow to tackle condensation and keep the tent cool.
Standing in his unit's
groundsheet storeroom upstairs, Jon says: "The whole lot has mushroomed from the ground sheets.
"They asked me to identify and pulled the
groundsheet back," he said.
So, after more 'quick' thinking, a large
groundsheet was used as an extension to the gazebo in order to darken the viewing area, necessitating the use of a garden hoe as a tent pole!
ALTHOUGH festival season is undoubtedly winding down for another year, the blues and roots music fans among you might want to keep that
groundsheet out for a little bit longer.
Then compound that by being 'under canvas' (one-man bivouacs), with just a thin plastic
groundsheet to separate your extremities from the solidly frozen soil, while the wind from Siberia played havoc with any attempts to get even a degree or two of heat into one's shivering body.
