You know you want it Tena

fgs, I never thought that in my mid 40's I would be looking at pictures of tents.

[PeachyChocolateEClair]

It seemed quite dark and cramped in the one went in at the garden centre (Sanders near Brean- stock taunton leisure). I was well up for it just felt very claustrophobic inside

[katelyle]

Really, Peachy? What lights your fire then? We just love the space in the tipi, and the way it looks with a light inside it at night. We also like the fact that it take precisely 11 minutes to put up, 14 to take down and packs down into a bag that's easy to carry.

Thanks for doing the link, dustystar, I really must learn how to do it!

Are these the ones ?

[PeachyChocolateEClair]

The tentipis don't do it for me either- well they did until i went in one

I am one awkward person [blsuh] that website sounds good will ahve a look

[ThatBeetroot]

won't be able to book early - will just see what is available.

[PeachyChocolateEClair]

book early then Beety, since it became trendy you have to now (won't last for ever though)

have a look at uk campsite website for sites

[katelyle]

Can't do links - but for lovers of tentporn there's nothing to beat stunningtents.com! We have a tentipi -it is the most fabulous thing you can imagine! (bought second hand, I hasten to add!)

[dustystar]

The vermont looks quite easy but then we haven't tried it yet

[ThatBeetroot]

I think I have a tunnel tent too

Not been oout for a couple of years but money is tight so might be doing some camping this year -

[PeachyChocolateEClair]

sopunds good, it is easy to pitch isnt it?

We ahve a flannel line dbag too, only from Argos LOL but fab (I have raynaulds so need the warmth or I am miserable)

[Housemum]

Took the Khyam Indiana out for its first outing last weekend - family camp with the Scouts. Was excellent - really easy to get up and down, cosy inside (we bought the Outwell self-inflating roll mats and we have a cosy flannelette lined double sleeping bag!) DD1 was in a scout tent with her mates, we had DD2 in with us as she's only 4, and SIL/BIL in the opposite end as it seemed daft for them to put their tent up as well when we had such a big one.

There was one Cath Kidston tent there - belonged to the 17/18 year old (male) explorer scout!

Great weekend - DD2 loved being able to get filthy playing in the woods, and I learned that I'm crap at archery but not bad with an air rifle so DH had better watch out...

[Blandmum]

I Love my tunnel tent. I can put it up on my own, in 30 minutes. Granted they are a frantic, sweaty 30 minues but still.......

[PeachyChocolateEClair]

we had a pod one last year, took ages- the tunnel is much faster!

[beckybrastraps]

Now you say it takes longer to put up, but we went camping with some friends last year and we were installed whilst their fancy pods were still flapping in the wind.

It does take up more room admittedly - it is huge when folded, but we take a trailer so it doesn't really bother us.

We do still have our little dome tent, which we take with us when we camp without the children to celebrate our anniversary (we know how to live it up in the Brastraps household I can tell you). We can be fully installed and off for dinner in 9 minutes. Yay!

[PeachyChocolateEClair]

eurovision is fab with the subtitles on

We were saying earlier that this weather was a bit much even for us, then decided we'd go for it anyhow beauty of an outer first tent

[dustystar]

Eurovision is on too can't miss that

[marthamoo]

Quite glad we're not going camping this weekend though - it is absolutely tipping down and I've got the heating on, it's so cold.
