We have this tent for 1 or 2 night stops, or for hubby and son's weekend fishing trips, it's great because it has 2 rooms, it's all sewn in so it's lovely and cosy and it's so easy to put up, even on your own.

Warmth at night is top priority for me, we take plastic backed picnic mats to use underfoot and under the airbeds, we then put a fleece balnket on top of the airbed to lay on, and a duvet.

With regards to the rest of your equipment, shop around, aldi and lidl have some great deals on camping gear. A single burner stove should do for a first and further short trips. Folding chairs you can get almost anywhere (home bargains maybe). I could go on but everyones needs are different and you only know what your needs are after you've been camping! Don't forget the tin opener though!

I was intrigued by the gelert curlaway and found this video of it. Not a standing room tent though by the looks of things but easy to pitch. The fun will be getting it back in the bag after though lol!

Its not a full standup walk about type, but its 173cm high which compared to the usual popups is fantastic. Im 5'8" and found it very comfortable to be in when I tried it out in Go.   Im quite tempted myself to get one. Dont be put off if its badged a Scaffell Rock. Its still a Gelert.   The benefit of this tent is that you will NOT argue when pitching it. You can sit and watch all the other couples on the site argueing instead.
