Looks boring, but it's a 4 person tent weighing 3.7kg - pleased with that!

Going to use it for family bike camping ๐Ÿ™‚

Hehe, haven't done it yet! It's likely to be in July/August, two kids, smallest will be 12mo ish, biggest 3yo. The plan is to load them into the trailer with the sleep mats, and put as much gear as I can in panniers on the front and back of my bike. Train to West Wales, find a campsite within 10 miles of the station and near the beach.

Trial camping run will be in June in the USA, same tent but with car.

If west Wales station = Haverfordwest and the 10 miles could be stretched a little bit, there are a couple of campsites I could recommend.

Not a bad listed weight at 5-5.3kg. Pack size is slightly larger than the one I like at 8kg, although I like a centre section: [url= http://www.outdooraction.co.uk/tents-4-man-tents/khyam/khyam-nomad-tent-2009-pd-2148.php ]Khyam Nomad[/url] I've got 10 weeks out of it and the sides are starting to go a bit crispy (I rope a tarp over the top centre section to protect that section)
