Putting up the tent in the dark

[BudBrain]

We're thinking about arriving Wednesday night, around 10-11pm.

Do you think there'd be enough light to put up our tent in the camping fields at this time?

[BudBrain]

yes

[pezzypops]

there's lighting along the roadways in all the camping fields which should give you enough light.

a torch wouldn't go amiss though in case you drop your tent pegs or something

It`ll be light enough to roughly put up a tent,then finish it off in the morning with a hangover

We are planning to get there about the same time. Always seems to be fairly light no matter where you are. Plus camp fires going.

we've had to put our tent up in the dark a few times but it hasnt been a massivo one. defo need a torch and its a bit of a pain but you can always do the basics and sort the rest out in the morning - shouldnt be a prob.

Its still surprisingly light at 10 at this time of year.

Provided you've put your tent up a few times before you'll have no problems! I'd recommend a head torch, Orbital stylee, so you can see what you're doing and have both hands free to put your tent up.

Alternatively, head straight for an all night cafe, chill out and set up after sunrise!

I put my tent up wrecked at 1am one year, it can certainly be done.
