Camping on show weekend

Well show weekend has just passed and we had a lovely weekend away camping at the Andrew's Shelter off Whites Bridge in the Arthur's Pass National Park. There were two other people in vans, a few sandflies (though not enough that we could not be outside), a little bit of rain one day, a lovely (but very cold stream) and our caravan. I have often looked at people who make bean teepees and though it looked easy. So we made that our mission on Saturday. Had great fun doing it but the result was a bit wonky and too big to fit in the car or caravan to take home. So Mark II will be coming up soon. The kids said we were like Bear Grylls but that he made better stuff!!!
