Our 4TonTents are two ex army trucks converted into luxury accommodation. Each one is kitted out for sleeping 5 with a double bed and a bunk bed and a separate bed in the cab upfront behind the driving seats (this is just under 6ft so not for tall people). There is a table, chairs and bench area in each truck.
The trucks are accessed by steep steps up to a platform and have a cover of weather-proof canvas with windows and roll up blinds, hence the name 4 ton tents!
There are also two canvas army tents; one tent has a double bed and 3 single solid-style camp beds. The other tent is a secondary hidey hole for inclement weather.
Fairy lights and lanterns are provided to light the inside of the accommodation but the camp is not lit so bring torches!
At the heart of the camp is a huge fire pit; a place to gather beneath the stars and listen for owls and bats overhead. We will provide plenty of wood for your stay and a canvas awning to one side as shelter from the sun or the rain.
We have built on an army trailer a canvas covered kitchen and bathroom (no bath!) The open sided kitchen has cupboards, crockery, cutlery, cooking utensils and a plumbed in sink for washing up with hot water and cold for drinking. There is a gas hob and a couple of barbecues for cooking. We have made sure your food can be kept cold with 3 cold boxes which we will fill with ice, for your drinks and food. You can charge your phone in the kitchen with a USB socket, please bring your cable.
Around the back of the kitchen is a hot shower and a composting loo with a view.
Bedding, firewood and loo roll are all provided. There are board games and cards in the army trucks.
Practical clothing is a must - waterproofs, wellies, walking boots and warm clothes should be on everyone’s kit list! Please bring torches, sun cream, insect repellent, toiletries and towels. You might want to bring binoculars to watch the wildlife more closely.
