Well, we have one camp site ticket in Houx for the tent and TVR and another Houx campsite ticket for the family sized swimming pool and other car.

Here She is in all her splender! We thought about this next one but decided blowing it up with a footpump would have hurt

Only problem is. One is BLOCK 32 PLACE 482
and T'other is BLOCK 49 PLACE 763
How far a walk to the pool do you think this is????
Place your bets.......Bonzai!

I hope to take my pool to mason blanche too .. not as big, but 10foot x 6foot, and 3 foot deep is enough to paddle!

Do you have a swim up bar ? That will take ages to fill up.

John, you are a nutter
It's going to be miles between those pitches, at least it's not going to flood your tent when you empty it

Doh! I wonder if one of the neighbours would swap places???? Its not the picture of the massive pool its the picture at the top. The smaller one. Emptying the pool is not a problem. I will suck on the hosepipe and let it empty slowly so i don't wash away all the campers

We arrive on Monday 7th June so we should have more than enough time to construct it. Two years ago I had to buy quarter of a mile of hosepipe to reach the pool. I just hope one of the camping plots is near a TAP There's only four of us going! Chimaera S3TAY

I was passing by Maison blanche 2 years ago, some folk there had costructed a pool with tarpaulin & the shrink rapped rolls of tyres.

Did the job!

However B&Q have some large pools including pump & filter for abot £70
