Hi again I'm sorry for asking questions that I'm sure have been asked lots of times but I keep thinking of all sorts of issues. My 3am worry is how to dry my tent if wet when we pack away? My garden / courtyard is way too small and stony to pitch it there....is there a way to get round this with little space? Thanks

Hi
It's tricky to dry a tent when you don't have much room but it must be packed away completely dry. Could you:-
Drape it over the washing line
Partially pitch it in the garden
Spread it out over garden chairs
Pitch it in a local park for a couple of hours
Pitch it in someone else garden
Drape it over the banisters
Spread it out over dining chairs in the house
If all else fails put it in the bath and keep turning and jiggling it until dry

The tent will dry eventually, I spread our wet tent over dining chairs for a day or two if it's still raining when we get home, or fling it over the washing line if it's sunny.
Make sure it's completely dry before packing it away back in the bag.
There are lots of posts about tent drying so check those out for more useful hints.
