Update two nights now after the previous post and our practice night in the tent with the little lady.

After the expected lengthy effort required to get her to sleep, her sleeping kind of went ok actually.  She was on her fleece inside the (kids) sleeping bag which had the downside of then curling around her a little so we may have to drop that.  Then she was a little cold as we expected although we meant to get her to sleep in a hoodie so we’ll try that again.

The main problem though was the lack of room in the bedroom section – in the tent we borrowed just exactly the right size for a double airbed, but that didn’t really give enough room for the 2.5 of us with baby.  So uncomfortable for us to make sure we weren’t off the edge or against the tent walls too much, or squishing baby girl.

So on with the invited (this time) nigey-bodgeness.  I’ve tried taking the inner of another dome tent and replacing one of the room sections in the borrowed tent with it.  It obviously doesn’t pitch out totally but with a few spare guy ropes, it looks like it should be fine.  Pics attached:

So plan will now be my lady and baby on the airbed, with me on another camping rollmat next to it.  Loadsa room. Lovely.

Wish us luck again.  On with the packing…
