A tour, where you’ll be lucky to stay at one place for more than a night or two, will rapidly lose its appeal when you have to allow for the hour or so to erect and takedown this fucker each day. You’d be better off putting this back on eBay and whatever you get for it can go towards hiring a campervan for your trip. Not that I want to piss on your chips or anything Fully inflates in 5 minutes then another 5-10 for pegs. Not cooking or any of that carry on so hoping to be a pretty quick set up / getaway. Could we’ll be a fucking disaster but the price of hotels in decent areas makes it worth a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 38844 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Inflation strikes again Given that you’re planning a West Coast trip, and that the prevailing weather for the last 600 months has been Gale Force Fucking Wind from the Atlantic, and that it’s you putting it up, I predict that your lovely tent will turn itself in to a kite and disappear towards Norway within 3 days. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that I don’t doubt your prowess or anything like that, but I'd love to see a video of you putting it up in 10-15 minutes. OK it is entirely me doubting your prowess. I'd also like to know how long it will take you to put it down, pack it up, and put it in the shed for its early retirement. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 38844 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 It’s inflatable, I’m also assuming the bed he’ll be kipping on will inflatable, and probably his “camping sofa” too. So that’s about 45mins of him annoying the tits off everyone at the site with the noise from his little air compressor working overtime, every evening. That’s assuming he doesn’t flatten the battery on his car with it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its one of those things that you imagine is going to be great and then turns out to be a cold an early bed followed by a very early and cold rise. If you must do it, do it near a pub. Well this is strange, its not like you to be contrary CT is it? The fundamentals of camping have not changed. You, however, are 13 years older than you were when you posted this. This is not going to end well. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I use a hand pump to put up the kids paddling pool once a year and its a right pain ion the arse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34640 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 I've just bought a soup maker CT. Sell this tent shit and get yourself one of these. Leek, bacon and potato soup for lunch just now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 38844 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Putting your sleeping/soup making arrangements aside for a moment, the Welsh coast, from top to bottom, is fucking amazing. Inland isn’t too shabby either. Sunset on the Pembrokeshire cliff tops, with a bowl of freshly blitzed Leek, Bacon and Potato soup, a glass of Netto Lager and a Bong injection as you watch your tent fly away… 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny enough, it’s a bit of a toss up between the two. However I’m not really a great fan of too much heat and I’ve been wanting to visit Wales / Cornwall / Cambridge etc for years and just never got round to it. Could still do either tbh.
