Well it took three goes but it is in the bag!

It pays to write yourself instruction of how to fold the carpet and the tent! And photocopy it because each copy is bound to get wet or lost. Otherwise you never remember from one time to the next. It may seem anal but the benefits make it worthwhile.

We fathomed how to get our Outwell carpet back in the box, it took a careful combinations of folding in thirds rather than half, but now I have a little sheet that we refer to each time! We find the tent slightly easier in terms of folds, but we're thankful that the Outwell tent bag is nicely sturdy.

It's getting it all back in the car that we had problems with last time. It was raining so didn't have time to manouvre everything in the roofbox properly and hence had too much in the boot. Next time we'll have noted layout plans for the roofbox and the boot so that everything can slide back into place easily.

It's the 6 Ps. Prior Planning Prevents p*ss Poor Performance.

Definately a fair weather camper. I don't like rain. Rain + Tent = Trouble.
