OH’s Uncle picked one of these up. Only suggestion I made was it needed some kind of foot support. Almost like the kind of coasters bikers use to stand their motorbikes on soft ground, to stop it sinking in to mud, grass, sand or on uneven ground. Comfortable and lightweight though 
I have 4 jamjar lids in the bag for that very reason!!
Fantastic thread.
Me and a couple of mates are going wild camping for the first time in September. We’re seasoned campers but my tents don’t go below 4-man, so i won’t be carrying that around.
What’s the forum’s choice of light, easy to pitch, good quality 2-man tents? On my radar are:
- Coleman Darwin 2-man
- Vango Scafell 200
Any others worth a look? Somewhere between the pricing of those two - £55 to £200 max.

Did you decide on a tent? I'm considering a Vango Nova 200/300 which looks to be identical to the Scafell 200/300 from what I can see. The 300 versions look to pack up to the same size and only 400g heavier so I think I will go for them for the extra space.Me and a couple of mates are going wild camping for the first time in September.

Did a bit of car camping in Wales recently. Found spots where I wouldn't be bothered as long as I cleared off early enough in the morning.
This was a nice spot. Weather was nice, which helped. Took the rear seat bottom out and slept quite well in the back. Little bit of luxury with the mokka pot for the morning brew. Shame about the insects, was bitten half to death!
Next two nights were nice too, but pretty sure I was camping next to 'no overnight camping' signs. But was prepared to move on if asked to and was entirely self-contained.
Did meet some covid-lunatic who was hiding out from the deep state in a Peugeot Partner and thought that the vaccine was some sort of population control or something. I just smiled and nodded and wandered off.

I recently went on a 48 hour hardcore camping trip with a friend where we each brought along only what we could put in our pockets. It was as miserable as expected, but it wasn't completely awful. We made it through by using literally only a few items.
Fortunately, I know how to make a quick fire.
