Show us your touring tent

[Jamieyorky]

I like eurohike got this one as an 'upgrade' to my previous one I've had for almost 20yrs. Has a sewn in groundsheet, is pitched fly first and plenty room enough for me and dog and stuff. It's stable, very easy to put up myself, fine in the rain and not bad at all for £40 have backpacked with it looking forward to cycle camping on my days off if the rain ever stops View attachment 133386

Ive just been looking at this online, how big is the bag when its packed away? will it fit on a rear pannier rack?

Mull m'deary

It was the hottest week of last year, the tent was like an oven. I went home with a major sunburn problem, some parts of me actually went purple (leave it! )

This is why I travel to Mull a dozen times a year

Mother and cub every day, the dog was further up the loch


crystal clear shoreline


millions of moon jellyfish


baby common sandpipers around the tent

Tobermory is one of my favourite places on the planet. I love sailing into there. Saw my first otter there about 8 years ago mooching about below the lifeboat ramp. Mr Hop's last munro was there too

Yep. And strangely the sun always seems to be shining when I'm there

I had a Wild Country tent which I used for backpacking mostly. One of the poles broke in Wales on a walking trip so I bought a cheap tent in a camping store- it was about 40 quid I think, might even have been 35. Planned on giving it away after I completed my trip but it's good-enough for solo camping in the UK so I've still got it. I don't even know what the brand is, mountain-something or other perhaps. Here it is in a campsite behind a pub in Essex, I have been to better locations with it but didn't take photos of the tent while I was there!

The people in the blue tent were well noisy by the way. I left at 5:30 a.m. before the nutjob Dengie Peninsula drivers got started.

It's big shown in the photo on the pannier and heavy too. I like the tent but will be replacing it for a smaller and lighter one to carry this year

Sun and no wind, thought I'd have the first go at pitching the Zephyros that I bought earlier in the year
