Well it's done....i've ordered this from Go Outdoors. It got a good review on here and i took someones advice that i hadn't been camping before and it may not be for me and to start off with a cheap but good tent and it was only £24.99.  7 x 6 Hi Gear groundsheet has also been ordered off ebay.

I can already hear everyone saying "why on earth did he get that one?" "why didn't he take my advice?" lol

Why on earth did you get that one..... only joking!

Have fun with it. Are you going to give it a go this year or wait until Spring? If you've a garden there is somewhat of a garden camping trend happening so you could give this a go.

We wont think you're mad.

I'm becoming addicted to this site.......does that mean i'm sad? lol
