Cheers all, some really helpful info there 🙂 I am indeed looking at car camping, mostly for race weekends tbh. At the end of a race run, I hate messing about trying to put a tent away, I want to just fold it up and get on the road, so a pop up seems ideal. If it sucks, I’ll go back to one of my others.
As for camping mats, if I’m carrying my kit and wild camping I just use a roll mat. Blow up air bed things are bloody awful, hence wanting to try a self inflating one, as I’ve heard good things.
I’ll have a scour of the interweb for some deals!
