Our first camping holiday of 2021 and we head off to Dinas, the ‘Hideaway in the Hills’ campsite.
I say ‘we’, but the first day and night I was by myself, with the others coming a day later.
In this video, the first of a three-part series, I pitch the brand new and massive Outwell Sundale 7PA family tent.
The Outwell Sundale 7PA is a fantastic large family tent. Ideal for larger families, families with teenagers, or anyone wanting a larger luxury space …

I also spend some time setting up the tent, making it a little luxury small-house in the hills. This includes testing the new Outwell Kimberley table and the Outwell Pardelas M camp bed.
The Outwell Kimberley is a handy side table for camping. And it looks very smart too.
