If you're still planning to brave the GREAT British weather this summer and are getting ready to pitch your tent we've got a guide to the latest and greatest tents on the market.
We'll be rating the tents on their pitch-ability, plus how waterproof and windproof they are, and we've also got some great gizmos to help your trip go smoothly. Who else could we choose to front an item on camping than possibly the campest man in Britain - the lovely Louie Spence!
