here
I think it will fit DS1 and DS2 in one room and DD1,DD2 and I in the other. Bit wary of having separate rooms but i can't find anything cheap with one room to sleep 5!

4 nights.
I did look at those but they don't look very comfy lol! Light to carry though i know.
I was thinking single air beds for the boys and a double/king air bed for the girls and me.
no idea how heavy an air bed is. Are they really heavy? Plus a little foot pump thing.

Will you have a pushchair with you? would be bit easier if you could put things on the pushchair too?

I hadn't thought about pushchair... I would possibly take the stroller. Assume room to store it in the tent....
Probably stay mainly on the Haven site i expect. With a trip to the beach.

I think the air beds are around 2kg for a single airbed.

That doesn't sound too bad.
Will pop into millets tomorrow after we see simpsons movie at the cinema! I can see how they feel weight wise if they have any.

A lot of people rave about those inflatable mats you know, and they are lighter

Well, the tent arrived today. I put it up in the garden and it is all ok. I couldn't work out the small roof support pole though. It says to put through white O rings and put the ends into small mesh pockets. i can't see any little pocket there! Anyone have any idea? (Will probably start a new thread/ask tent seller!)
I can stand up in it very easily and i put it together alone quite quickly. It is pretty heavy though!
