He `does` intend camping with me again, but wants a bigger tent.
(He took a shine to my Eurohike Backpacker tent but dressing while horizontal is a bit tiresome at his age...or any age come to think of it.)
His cunning plan is to use his pop up gazebo and give it walls.
I have no idea if this will work or not; I would not try it if I suspected a high wind.
My suggestion was to use my big frame tent....However it is a pest to put up and I would be reluctant to use it for anything less than a week. (our trips will be a long weekend at most)
Hes in love with the uber big tents ever since his brother bought a canvas bungalow many years ago; I said that such items were dire to erect, and his brother had his family, plus the wifes sister and her family, and two dogs. Me and him hardly need that sort of encumberance.

I'm sure Vango or some other UK distributor makes a dome of such a size and simplicity. Although I have no direct experience of them, tunnel tents look to be independent of size in terms of simplicity, and are usually better suited to UK conditions erecting outer first/all in one.
