Come and have a look at our new camping range in our shop at Barnack, as well as loads of tents up outside!

This weekend why not head down to Barnack Country Clothes and wellieboots.com in Barnack, near Stamford in Lincolnshire for the Opening Weekend of Active Camping (www.activecamping.com). Active Camping was launched by Barnack Country Clothes and wellieboots.com following requests from our festival customers who said they would love to buy their festival camping gear at the same time as their festival wellies and waterproof clothing; so in 2010, the website www.activecamping.com was launched! 2011 sees the introduction of a bigger range including more products for family camping, as well as the addition of the Active Camping collection in our shop!

Visit our Open Weekend on Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th May from 10am ’til 4pm to see an array of pitched tents, our full camping range displayed in our shop plus plenty of advice! We’ll also be offering our guests 10% off all camping products throughout the weekend and some light refreshments too! So pop down and say hello and see what Active Camping has to offer.

Camping Stoves and Cooking Equipment from Active Camping - Cooking doesn't get easier than this

About two weeks ago we supplied one of the Active Camping team with a few accessories to take on his D of E Silver expedition. Toby, a key member of our support team, was about to leave for a 46 mile trek in the hills of North Yorkshire armed with Gelert mess tins, a pack of Super Noodles and instructions to file a product review on his return.

Toby says: “The first positive thing to say is that the mess tins take up no space in your rucksack whatsoever simply because you can pack all manner of small items of kit inside the tins. My first aid kit, utensils and dried food sachets neatly slotted in the tins saving space and keeping them from getting jumbled with all my other stuff. We kept the cooking on our trek as simple as possible. This was so easy; water and noodles in the mess tin, heat, drain and eat. Job done! Definitely on my kit list for the next trip.’

The Coleman Lite 910 Mummy Sleeping Bag from Active Camping

Item number 3 in our ‘What’s Hot’ at Active Camping range is the Coleman Lite 910 Mummy Sleeping Bag. This Mummy Sleeping Bag is suitable for warmer weather, particularly in Spring/Summer/Autumn months and is considered the ultimate Festival Sleeping Bag. The Mummy Style Bag means that you can snuggle up for a comfy nights sleep and it also has a ‘hooded’ top. This Coleman Sleeping Bag is very lightweight and compact and easily rolls up into its small carry bag. It is made from a soft polyester ripstop making it tough and durable, has 100g 0f micro-insulation to keep you toasty on those chilly summer evenings, a soft and cosy polyester lining and also has a full length zip making it easy to get in and out of.

This Coleman Lite 910 Mummy Sleeping Bag is a good performance sleeping bag and is multi-purpose; also great for backpacking, sleepovers and Duke of Edinburgh awards.  It is a great way to travel light as it weighs under a kilo and packs up really small. Priced at £32.99 (RRP £34.99) at activecamping.com this Coleman Sleeping Bag really is a good investment for a cosy nights sleep. Click here to view our full range of Festival Sleeping Bags.
