What happened to him? I hadnt notice he was MIA…
Some great advice in the posts responding to your question Paul. Unfortunately it seems that like me, you’re a Biff. For us Biff’s there is no real answer other than a bigger bag than the one it came in. I go somewhere with all my kit beautifully folded, packed and in place, and come back with stuff crammed in, bursting out, and having to be strapped on.
It’s the way of it mate.
Could you elaborate please
Also, not all tent bags are equal. The new Vango bags are much like a Lomo rack back, top opening which is huge much easier to put the tent in , pull drawstring then use the compression straps. Or in the case of my Shyam Highlander, just a huge flappy bag
Yes, my latest vango has an excellent top large opening bag that it’s easy to stuff into and then compress right down and strap.
Easiest tent I have ever had, to repack.
My older omega 350 is a nightmare in comparison
At last, a proper thread, worthy of UKGSer of old.
PS The advice from Hilleberg, is simply to leave the poles on one side and stuff the tent into the bag. But, they make proper tents and provide decent sized bags

You turning into my mate like.Could you elaborate please
Amateurism, hiding behind mask of an expert, sets the standard on the pages of UKGSer.
Not forgetting to take your 'bike keys out of the inside pocket of the tent before you pack it all away, load on to your 'bike, coat and helmet on, 'bike off the stand and then .....
Christ Micky! Between you and me we could make an elephant! Your memory and my ears!Not forgetting to take your 'bike keys out of the inside pocket of the tent before you pack it all away, load on to your 'bike, coat and helmet on, 'bike off the stand and then .....
Aha! That makes sense, mine is usually ‘scruffy’ before I start rolling it.

I am pretty sure I do most of what has been advised, then still end up with what seems like trying to stuff a king size duvet into your jeans pocket.
I do like the idea of ‘get a bigger bag’.
Biffers unite!
Or, more appropriate for the average bikermate:
Yes, stuff the tent, get a hotelAt last, a proper thread, worthy of UKGSer of old.

Dear God @ this thread/grown men for fekks sakes. 
*kin amateurs. Fold your tent and stuff your sack.
(Sack being sleeping bag in case you wondered)

Ground sheet, I fold as per the creases,
Tent just folds into its self, its a biker plus
Then i put the bag over the tent , and then the groundsheet on top
if its wet, it will stay in the bag until i can get it out and up in the garden to dry
Then its repacked the same way

Just get one of these, bigger the better.
