We took a calor gas stove for cooking on when we went camping.
It's a good job they didn't go camping last weekend - the weather was awful.
We were weighed down with all our camping equipment - sleeping bags, gas cookers and pans.

The shop in town sells everything you need for camping, and has tents for hire at £10 a week.
