Without sounding rude but what size pitch have you booked? These 'spider' type tents with the guy ropes take up a lot of room and go further than one standard pitch, as we found out the hard way!

Even without the guy ropes, the footprint of your tent exceeds the normal 7x5 plot - where's your car going to live?

Hope you're not next to me - it'll look lop-sided when I chainsaw the bit off which is on my plot

Throw it in the air, it comes down ready to peg.

2 mins max.

Now, where is my beer while I watch the remaining fools in my party struggle
