I've upgraded the kit for this summer's festivals as this year I'll be accompanied by our 17 year-old who needs plenty of good quality rest between spells on her feet.

A two-bedroom blackout tent with headroom to stand up was a must, along with proper camping cots (we chose Naturehike which are similar in form to the military camp beds I used as a youngster but lighter, more compact and easier to assemble). We'll pop a Thermarest pad on top.

Despite the blackout feature we'll also have a couple of small rechargeable USB fans in the arsenal.

And a proper cage platform trolley with puncture proof tyres to cart it all around in.
