Nice slideshow Nut C, soundtrack fits it well...
Don't sweat the small stuff - and it's ALL small stuff...!
Thats a great slideshow mate, looks a great place to visit.
Looks like you found a great spot, I'm with Phil on the poking around old, derelict buildings and ruins. It's like a little trip back in time. Think you might be right with the lack of groundsheet letting the dew rise from the ground and settle on the fly.
great looking place pal hope he enjoyed his time wild camping
Most of the time, if you've not got adequate cross-ventilation, the condensation on the inside of the fly is just from respiration. The vents on each end are supposed to alleviate that somewhat, but never really do very well. All you can do is open them all the way and maybe prop the edges of the fly up to let a little convection occur.
Lovely pictures, by the way. Looks like a great time with your young-uns!
True in many cases, but living grass contains a lot of moisture. Heat from the sun and body heat from occupants, both raise the temp inside the tent to higher than the ambient atmosphere. Working in the same way as a solar still, the moisture rises, meets the cooler surface of the fly (or groundsheet) and condenses. This is why the underside of the groundsheet is almost always damp, after all, your respiration is never going to effect what goes on under the sheet...well...not with groundsheets that is LOL.
Thanks for the great pics! Those will be like gold to you and yours in a few years, so make sure you've saved or backed them up somewhere other than the PC (they do crash!!).
I like the utilization of local resource (wall) as a windbreak/table/chair. That area looks pretty good for the inquiring mind of a young (or old) lad.
If you stretch out both arms to represent all time on earth, then with one stroke of a nail file you could eradicate all human history, and 98 per cent of all human history was spent in the stone age.
Went to another spot last night and my niece came with us as she wanted to try her new tent
