    Pitched my brand new green lightweight tent in the garden along with our family tent in a pathetic attempt to recreate the festival we would have been at this weekend and it might be more stealth but it is not as pleasent to be in as the purple/light grey one it just replaced..

    Regards those Nature Hike tents – I’ve seen two, both were short in the sleeping length for me at 6′, like many tents.

    They may be lighter, but there’s more robust options with a UK warranty I would use.

    Do tents need to be stealthy in Scotland? I thought we were sorted for that

    If it’s DofE we still hide…

    “need”? Depends how much of an eyesore you want to be. Two mates and I were camped at Carnmore causeway a few years back. We walked up A’Mhaidghean and you could see a blue tent from the summit – but not the two green tents alongside it.

    Fair enough, I never really considered it to be an issue. FWIW when I did my DoE we were issued Vango’s if we didn’t have our own tents (and shouted at for wanting to stay dry in a survival bag whilst waiting for folk on a summit).
