16 Dec with Jack and a 10 year old Laphroaig

Struggled to pitch in the wind last time so after 5 nights out decided to read the instructions.

£37/night

.. which i do slightly differently:

  • Peg out the windward corners fly & inner together  (peg the fly-loops doubled so the inner loops reach easily)
  • Insert the long pole
  • Thread all the other corners onto two pegs and lift that end to waist height to fill the tent with air then plant and peg that end
  • Everything else
