Can I "piggyback" my wifi only mini to go online via my Ipad cellular

I am going on holiday later this year to a holiday park where wifi will not be available in the accommodation.

I have an original Ipad cellular model as well as a wifi only original mini ipad.

Is it possible to get online to use my wifi only original mini ipad somehow using my original Ipad cellular as a "gateway"?

Forgive me if I am not using the correct terminology
 
If by original iPad cellular model you mean the iPad from 2010, then no, you can't use it as a WiFi hotspot for your iPad mini. You need at least an iPad 3 to use it as a personal hotspot.

Well, I'm assuming that you do not have a phone that can establish a Wi-Fi hotspot? Just another suggestion (and not sure about the UK options) is to use a Mi-Fi Hotspot - a little device that takes a cellular signal and converts into a local hotspot - some of the companies may offer a 'pay as you go' billing plan rather that monthly charges.

Thanks for the suggestion, Dave.
I'll look into that option
