We arranged a families get together last year in the New Forest, it was my wife and three of her friends from Uni. I got the gig of booking the site because I used to live down there and I "know about camping and stuff"
The people involved were.......
Us- 2 children 15 and 17, all of us very active, we cycle, run, orienteer, walk long distances, camp a lot and have a Beagle
Other Family 1- a couple with two girls 13 and 9. She barely leaves a chair, is just a little overweight and her husband tries to do at least one Ironman each year. They do not camp and have 0 equipment
Other Family 2- Single parent, two children 3 and 5. They have an old tent, but only two sleeping bags. The children are not overly active and their mum is quite overweight
Other Family 3- Mum (husband working that weekend, lucky sod) and two rugby playing active boys aged 7 and 10, but one of them is [censored] scared of dogs
My task was......."Find somewhere suitable for all of us, that has nice showers and toilets, will hire out a tent and stuff (Family 1) is near somewhere to play, not too crowded, allows open fires and is near a supermarket, a pub and has 'something for the kids to do'"
We aren't going again this year
