I don't bother folding it away neatly, as I have yet to have a completely dry tent without the need to spread it out in the garage once I get home.

When it is dried, I just roll it up in a bundle, ready for shoving into the back of the car/trailer.

The only item I fold neatly is the groundsheet. The inner tent and front wall are just rolled up and shoved into the bag.

Sounds like a good plan!  However I am off to France next week for three weeks camping and will need to pack everything away as tightly as possible!  Im sure I will figure it out!  Overall I am absolutely delighted with the quality of the tent - had just a small tear in the front corner of the ground sheet where the stitching seems to give way.. I can just use a bit of tape to seal it up.. not worth bothering about it really...

Mine is coping very well with the rain and the wind at the moment in Dorset.

The dog is not impressed as it means no cycling or walking for him!

We still haven't been camping in our Escala, we cancelled our plans for this week, as the weather in Newent where we were going looks awful. Really not a fan of camping in the rain and wind (not if its forecast for every day anyway).  

Hopefully going to go up to Derbyshire in a couple of weeks time, if the weather improves anyway!!

Lynne - as DK says the Palamos/Escala tents seem to cope very well with the wind and rain - I was very happy and cosy inside listening to the rain!  However I do agree that its not the most pleasant camping experience... It does get you back to the basics of life however - food warmth and shelter!   Amazing how everything else seems so unimportant in those conditions!

Hi

That is the one thing I do like about it,  being cosy inside the tent and listening to the rain. However as we do a lot of walking and have a dog its really hard to get everything dry. I don't mind for the odd day but the forecast was just rain and wind everyday, so chickened out this time.

Hope you have a great time in France
