The Camping Thread

[sgt_doofey]

We did Halls Gap a couple months ago. Was a great trip with great friends, as usual.
We didn't have a disaster ourselves this time, but one of our friends had a bit of a mishap.

Started off with the wife hurting her back a couple of days before being due to leave, so they ended up staying home a couple of extra days. Rather then drive over on the Friday, they ended up coming over on the Monday.
When they arrived, they started the process of winding up the roof of their campervan only to have a cable snap and one corner fall down.
Cue three blokes scratching their heads for the next 30 minutes trying to figure out what to do to hold the heavy roof of the campervan up.
Ended up borrowing a drill from the park maintenance person, drilling holes in the uprights and putting pins (tent pegs) through them to hold it up.

Rest of the trip was great and uneventful after that!
