the HH rating tells you basically how waterproof the tent is ..  a HH rating of 1500 minimum is recommended for UK camping ( but not extreme stuff ).. most people opt for 2000 or higher. 

out of interest which tents 'speak'  to you  - it might help.

lol i actually googled it and stopped being lazy and found that out....millets one doesnt say what its is, millets still my favourite as i can walk in shop and buy it lol

now now.. 

anyway, with the BH coming up if your mind is made up you could get a practice run.. even if you rely on the chipshop for food. 

The Eurohikes seem to have an HH of 2000 (I've got the millets catalogue here)

Not necessarily a fan of the tents I showed you, was just trying to come up with ideas that had 2 bedrooms withi budget. I actually have a Vango tent very similar to the Sandringham

If thats the one you like, then I would go for it, it's such a personal taste

too many to choose from is the problem...and without seeing them its a bit wierd just buying them online...think we will go for the millets atleast as a learning curve it dont seem a bad place to start.

Thanks for all your help people atleast i got there in the end  now do i start a new post on sleeping bags lol

airbed lol cant be doing with a mat unless its like a mattress, now with my 25 year old back!

Think we might have airbed sorted already though ;) with a 12v pump cos i aint using foot pump lol

Trick is to put somehting under the airbed   and on top of the airbed to stop condensation..  foam mat ..  cheap picnic rug from pound shop under, fleece blanket over..    then you duvet ..  and always have extra .. jimjams , socks if need be..  it gets cold at night ..  and the youngster ..  make sure you have extra for the wee lad. oh and nappy bucket and lid..  for nightime weewees lol

ps look familiar

hmmm makes me think why are we doing this lol....wish our first time was without little one like and hope garden is big enough to practice putting it up :S

yeah but not the long tunnel one...sandringham ;) decent spot though
