Speedy Pitching from Halfords

If fiddling with poles and pitching tents has become tiresome, campers will delight in Halfords' range of pop-up tents.

New for 2012, Halfords' exclusive premium brand, Urban Escape, will have the benefits of quick pitching and the features of the full-scale tents. The higher specs will mean campers won't want to leave them behind after the festivities.

The Urban Escape Matsuri pop-up tent comes in 2 and 4 person options for £54.99 and £99.99 respectively. They are double skinned for extra insulation, waterproof to 3000HH and include windows and a sewn-in ground sheet.

For a more eye-catching option, the Gelert SpeedyPitch range offers patterns far from boring. Pick from Red/Black, Urban Grid, or Candy Stripe designs with matching sleeping bags with selected patterns.
