Wood Anemones Still Fabulous
The anemones (see my post two weeks ago) are still sublime, and have become a sea of white in the spring sunshine. But the bluebells are on their way.
Ineptitude
The reviews warned me it was a bother to put up – but the best thing out there once I’d worked it out. I get a sinking feeling in advance of doing anything practical – perhaps that’s why it’s taken me a whole month since it arrived to have a go at erecting it.
I took it out to ‘the fields’. The first thing I realised was that I had forgotten the tent pegs. Actually that didn’t matter too much – the ground was so wet I just used sticks. It wasn’t as hard as I had imagined, although it does look a little bit ragged in the photo, and unlikely to stand up to more than a gentle breeze. I’ll practice.
But WOW, what a tent! It weighs just 19oz (539g). As far as I am aware it is the lightest two-man tent in the world and about half the weight of the next lightest brand.

It looks bigger than I’d imagined. Hopefully it will get easier to put up when you get used to it.
