My first tent was the green Tinker Tent. It is still in the attic, along with my Bergan and my Primus Stove that all goes into a little tin. My mummy sleeping bag is up there also. You can still see almost every breakfast that was cooked and eaten before I would get out of that bag to get dressed.

My father made me an A frame so that the tent hung instead of having an internal pole.

I've used it snow and ice climbing in Glen Etive, Glencoe and the Cairngorms in winter. Would stand up to any weather conditions.

After I got married we used it when we walked the West Highland Way. Now that was what you called "cosy camping"

Och you have brought back many happy memories and perhaps nowadays we eat off tables and sit on chairs in our standing room, SIG, mamouth tents that have to be lugged about in cars, but the basics are all still there.
