It is always good to unpack your tent and check it before you set off on holiday. Make sure you have everything you need (pegs, poles, instructions etc.) and check the tent for any damage. If it’s a new tent, do the same, and also make sure you understand the instructions and can pitch the tent. Have a practice pitch in the back garden before you go to familiarise yourself with how it goes together.

Some people go on holiday to do as little as possible, spending their days lying on the beach with a best-seller or dreamily walking around one of Cornwall’s picturesque fishing towns, whilst licking an ice cream, or perhaps going to one of Cornwall’s spas. On the other hand, some people just can’t chill-out – at least not for too long! In Cornwall there are plenty of activities, which will get your adrenaline racing.
