Apparently I’m a numpty

[Molldog]

Me, the Mrs and the pooch were due to have a day out in the van today.
However, owing to the gloriousness (can’t think of another word!) of the day, the Mrs suggested a stopover!
Booked ourselves in on a site in the Yorkshire Dales then had a quick van packing session. Only an overnighter so we left the awning, but the Mrs told me to get the parasol and base outta the shed.
Imagine my surprise when we arrived at the site and quickly set up, only for the Mrs to discover I had left the bottom part of the parasol in the shed!!!
Numpty of the highest order!
The parasol does offer shade to extremely vertically challenged people but the dog was glad of it.
Picture of shame enclosed.

Are we allowed to point out the rather helpful dry stone wall to elevate your parasol base?

Brilliant, goes to show it’s not all needed….when then suns out… enjoy the trip

Didn’t want to touch it mate. Probably been there a good number of years!

Method in the madness.
Got the green light for a sun canopy!
Any recommendations for one which will fit my Reimo rail?

Reimo palm beach about £100, does the job, packs away to not much more than a golf brolly. 5mins up & down.

That’s clever! How does the dome hold up? Sprung rods?

What does it look like packed up? Is it pretty big?

Packs into a bag around a yard long & 4-5” diameter. As I said, around the size of a rolled up golf brolly.
