You need to let the air out first!
Camping, what do we need?

I can give you a couple of free camping chairs, if you make your way to London NW (bottom’ish of the A1). They fell out the back of a container, officer…..
That's very kind, thank you but we already have a couple. Thank you again for the offer though. 
If you want to borrow a tent to see if the missus likes it or not I have a couple. Too heavy to post though which may put the dampners on it? 
I’m in Far Forest so not very close to Lincoln.

Thank you for the offer, very kind of you. I'm not keen on borrowing stuff but I am grateful. Thanks again.
Ha! I decided to put the Moto Tent up to see if we can get my 2 current single camping beds in as Sarah's determined I'm not to spend any money until we've tried this first.
I know it won't work but sometimes you have to do as they suggest just to prove your point.
I'd just pushed the 3 sets of poles in and was standing the tent up when 'Snap' and 1 of the poles is beggared.

And now the Exped's just gone 'Pop'. 
It's just as well though as it turns out she might have been right.

Lone Rider have just told me they no longer make the poles for my tent which I think is a 1st generation.
Looks like a new tent may be in order after all.
Thank you, they're 2 great looking tents.
I've bodged the pole on the Moto Tent and it's up now.
In the short term she's letting me buy a camp bed similar to the Andes in the photo above (£40 from B&Q) and we're going to try camping in the garden first.
Talk about baby steps.....

Just book a B&B
Already tried that, didn't work unfortunately. But as the tent is up I may give it another go tomorrow.

You can fix that; i've done it a few time's ;; just unscrew the end of the pole and undo the elastic; the cracked end can be sawn off; then the sharp edges smoothed; feed the elastic back through the pole; then attach the elastic and screw it back into the pole; job's a good un;; a leatherman sorts mine out; the pole may be a bit shorter but will still work .
who's going to be climbing over who for a piss in the night;
Yeah, that went as well as usual. I've admitted defeat and decided to offer it to my local scout group.
