It's ok for the odd summer camp,or a three season tent is usually ideal/popular for summer camping.note the halfords tent hydrostatic rating is 1500 millimeters this is it's waterproof rating..1000 mm is the bare minimum light shower stuff..The higher the hydrostatic number the better the tent is at keeping the rain out so you stay dry,usually 2000mm is about the ideal starting point..Use a good insulating mat under your sleeping bag and you should be just fine for summer/spring camping...

Yeah, thats the way 
Love the farm, Leave no trace!!!
This year the Festival asked everyone to 'Leave No Trace' and 'Take it Home'. But I kid you not, last year the following items were abandoned on site:
9,500 roll mats
6,500 sleeping bags
5,500 tents
3,500 airbeds
2,200 chairs
400 gazebos

I bought this tent yesterday at that price it got to be worth a go.
What else do i need? I like then idea of the cooker with a grill.
Can someone recommend me a good camp site in the south east.
Thanks for all the help

There must be a gooutdoors or Yeomans near you.
A hob with grill is nice, but you'll need to splash out a good few quid on a gas bottle, rather than the smaller cans.
