We have just returned from Cornwall and the only thing we have brought back with us that is still dry is the wetsuit's, didn't get one day on the beach..!!! 

I would be greatfull to any one who has some good advise on how to completely dry out a tent before packing it away for the season.I have resorted to putting our Norfolk Lake polycotton tent up in the car port but the weather is still grim and the air is still damp and I'm finding it difficult to dry the cotton out thoroughly enough.

Sorry to hear your holiday was so wet - we haven't had brilliant weeks this year again, we managed to get a couple of decent spells inbetween the showers.  Your tent looks to be in the best place to dry out.  From the forecast, this Friday looks to be quite sunny and warm (fingers crossed).

Hi allineedisabrollie

You got a good place to dry out there you may want to turn it round to get air on both sides & pull it out in the sun when you can also try to get some air under it or blow some warm air through from the end

or you could try putting it over the banisters on the stairs & turning it regular or hang it up at the top of a stair well hanging down any place to drip dry a tent will do so long as you dont put it away wet

good luck

Wow. You have great places to put up the tent to dry.

My garden is teeny so hoping that we can pack away dry in August.

Great location Dezzie - Do you have any pitches for rent..? 

Today was the first warm day for a wile and the tent is now dry and packed away, lets hope not for the season.
