Wandering from tor to tor setting up a tent for a while, making a brew and then packing his rucksack and get on the way again! And if you come to close to this restless soul you can hear a whisper in the wind .... "Hi,Trevor here! Summit or nothing! Today with my new tent!" 😵

Loving all your videos! Do you have recommendation for a family tent? 2 adults 2 small children (4&2) maybe better to get two smaller cloud ups or is there a good lightweight that will fit us all in? Thanks ☺️
