Does such a thing exist or am i better saving for decent kit? Seems a bit of a minefield for backing gear and that side of camping is alient to me. Tents seem to go from £60 to £600, airbeds from £35 to £350 etc.

I've sold my car so to get a camping trip it will be via coach and/or train. Don't fancy taking an inflatable tent and my luxury Outwell self-inflated-mattress on my back laugh

Thanks for the replies guys i'll check out some of the stores and brands.

@Mave - for all i'd love to do a West Highland Way type thing, i'll mostly be doing a couple of nights in summer (at a push maybe end of start spring and start of autumn) and probably walking a few miles max from a train or bus stop to a campsite.

Not fussed about cooking in it - pub/chippy/cafe/bowl of cereal/pack of sandwich's would do smile
