We are collecting three grandchildren from “up country” on Sunday to come and stay for a couple of weeks. We live in Cornwall, so beach trips are a favourite thing to do together. We ALWAYS have trouble packing away the bl**dy pop-up tent!! It goes up with no problem! So we are currently in the back garden practicing (as we haven’t used it since last August - and we’ve both had birthdays since then 😬) I have left DH to it as he doesn’t like it when I laugh at our efforts 🤣 Anyone else know our pain?

Leave it to the kids……..they’ll crack it in no time 👍

Don't even mention that someone (usually me) has to lay in to stop it blowing way until you've collected enough rocks!1 LOL

My daughter has a pop up tent for camping and its very good viewing sat with a bag of popcorn while she struggles to get it back in the bag from whence it came. Its quite large.
