Well done - just the start of many.
I love camping on my own, doing what I want when I want and not having to consider anyone else!!

I had the same anxiety when I attempted my first solo trip with my Tigris 600xl.
I even took my smaller tent in case I could not get it up on my own.
But shouldn't of worried was a breeze to get up and I now have a long stay tent which I can call home with out crawling around for two weeks on my knees!
Only issue is I now have more space in the tent to buy lots of new toys Woo Hoo !!!!

Good for you! If you can"t stand your own company you have a problem. Still camping solo at 74 yrs, and if my sight and knees hold out I would like to think I have a few more years, hope you all have a wonderful season.
