wow what a last night of camping was, sitting in the tent playing the last game of backgammon and drinking our hot choccy when screams and shouts for help can be heard from over the camp site.

"If any one can hear this we need help, we have 1 baby and 3 adults in need of medical help, please come and help"

the misses legs it out like a trooper with me lumbering behind to find 1 lady fitting on the floor out side the tent , 1 baby having breathing problems in the pram and 2 other feeling very faint and not very lucid

Jane sorts the young lady out in to the recovery postion and another group have all ready got the baby screaming and breathing better.

I popped into the tent to see what could be the cause be only to be, and was greeted by a BBQ with the lid on inside the tent, when i asked how long the BBQ was in the tent he said about an hour. So they where all suffering from hypoxia , also a dimming gas lamp was inside the tent. It was very lucky it was such a massive tent and that they had spotted the young mother had slipped into unconscious and got them self s out. ambulance arrived and of to hospital they go , all survived thank goodness.

I remembering him saying but its only a BBQ and does nt output anything harmful we just wanted to warm the tent up - *shakes head* but it does burn oxygen rather fast though.
