Two days to go until the big trip and with my excitement bubbling over, I thought it was about time that my house mate Eric shared in the buzz too. He normally jets off to a luxurious hotel complex in Dubai for his holidays, but this year, because of his earlier fears of the ash cloud returning, we managed to persuade Eric, the camping virgin, to come away with all of us.
So, to get him in the camping mood, I've set up the Camping Ninja's guide to camping.

'I'm so excited for you Eric! This is the beauty of camping. No background noises from the hotel mini bar like you're used to, no whirring from the air con while you try to sleep. It'll be great.
But just so you know what to expect, there might be a lot of animal noises, like in the video. Birds, owls, crickets, frogs and we don't keep each other awake talking all night. Ninja needs his beauty sleep, so no Sesame Street monsters chatting the night away. It's important you understand that. OK?
Eric? … Where did he go? … E for Eric where are you? …
