 Never less than 3 hours, but most trips are for a week or more so thats probably less than 1% of our holiday.

Only used my tent twice now, didnt really look at the time but I loved the relaxed way of making it last all day! So tent up first and basic pegging. Then unfold seat rest admire and decide next move with a cuppa. so bedroom in next blow up the bed, whilst pump is ready blow up settee. Relax sit down another cuppa. put rest of stuff in tent make bed, try out bed with a cup of tea. have a little sleep and wake up to a steaming hot cup of tea. Utility tent next 5 minute job, put the kitchen stuff in and get ready, make a sandwich for lunch with a cup of char.
Chat to the neighbours over a cup of tea. Finish pegging down whilst discussing merits of delta pegs with neighbours. Sit and rest a while chance for a cup of tea and a biscuit. Prepare table and chairs inside get the lights ready and hung up fold the carpet out.
OH returns from her shopping trip to find everything is nice and ready for her. She asks if i need a drink as i have worked so hard, of course i do i am so thirsty haven't stopped all day.

We take about 1/2 hour putting the tent up it is the rest of the stuff that takes the longest. so about an 1 1/2, but we do have 2 kids under 2 running about all over spot.
