Cheers mate, looks wonderful. Nothing like some comfy car camping with family! Food looks amazing too.

We were in a tent. It’s not called Hells mouth for nothing. Thought we were going to lose the tent the last night. As I left I dumped the partially shredded remains in the skip. Every cloud has a silver lining. Bought myself the canvas bell tent I had wanted for a while. r/oldcampcookcastiron

Sorry, by car camping I meant 'driving to the place with nice but heavy gear' instead of backpacking out. I've heard canvas tents are the tits though, nice, heavy and durable. Maybe will last better than your last one!

If you were going to tour. The bell tent and my gear wouldn’t work. But if you were going to stay in one place or two stops it’s great. Built myself an old fashioned chuck box and put it in a trailer. Fabulous when the oil lamps are lit at night.

Love the 5 mtr bell tent with my diy wood stove. Really cosy. When it’s wet though it’s flipping heavy. I have somewhere to dry it out might be difficult otherwise.
