First camping in years next weekend Need to check and update my old gear... probably new tent as family got bigger (4 of us now) Any recommendations for 3-4 man one bedroom tent, easy to assemble? Are Decathlon tents Ok? Recommended shops in North London? I will read whole topic later today, hopefully find lots of intresting ideas 
... thanks
