Having camped as a child I have decided 2011 will be the year I force DH to go camping and hopefully make him fall in love with it!
In order to improve my chances of success I want to get the tent and equipment right but things have moved on a bit in the 20 odd years since I last camped and I don't know where to start so I'd really welcome some some tent and equipment suggestions please.
We are 2 adults and 2 children and we have a small hatchback car. If my plan succeeds we'd probaly be looking at weekend camping with maybe a week in the summer.
I know DH will most enjoy camping in small sites with few facilities but he would also like to be comfortable. A tent he can stand up in is essential. Also one that will perform well in windy and rainy conditions. I'd like a spare bedroom for storing stuff.
Over to you...
