Be gentle, not posted anything for yonks....:)

I've finally decided to get off my butt and start doing the odd short long weekend camping trip.

I have most of the basic gear, but want to upgrade to a bigger tent.

Probably no more than a 2-3 man tent, it'll only be me camping, so therefore needs to be put up by one person. Also needs a standing room porch area where I can safely store my camping fridge and cook etc.

Really don't want to spend no more than £100. I've had a quick look on google etc, and was slightly bewildered by the choice.

So, basically I ain't got a clue....

What about this:

http://www.decathlon.co.uk/seconds-family-41-tent-id_8171126.html

It's a 4 berth, but has the standing height and is a doddle to put up.

Happy choosing!

Ive been using a litchfield creek for a few years, when i go on my own camping, easy to put up, tall living area  with plenty of room to stand up. Think you can get them for about £65-£75 now

What really frightened me was how quickly you can be overcome by the fumes on a seemingly cold barbeque. It was a well presented item and a shame we can't use the item as a sticky to warn the new campers who join this site.
