change of accommodation!

Having tried out the alpkit tent for a night I found it rather lacking in space with the central pole!
I didn't imagine something with that floor space not being hugely functional!
But sadly it is!
So going back to tried and tested I've replaced it with the new version of my old Vango helium 100 the Vango helium UL1.... 
Put it up for the first time tonight and it's so much more comfortable! A new version of old slippers if you like! 

Much happier with this tent 🙂
Smaller ground coverage will enable it to fit in those tight wild camp spots and knowing it's predecessor survived hurricane Bertha instills me with confidence! 

Less than a month before we head off to lands end ..... Exciting times 😁
