simply put this is an awful tent based solely on the linked groundsheet. it is such a fundamental flaw it's baffling that it was given the green light past the design stage. as soon as the tent is up the bugs are in and then they stay in and increase in numbers. leaving it pointless to even try and sit down for food in the porch/seating area. there is also the risk of flooding as the water can just run straight through at ground level. I am an experienced camper and would venture to the Mourne's, torr head, Murlough bay, ballintoy, knocklayde, Ben Nevis in my terra nova which is a fantastic tent. I wanted something for the family and this arrived. this is not a tent. a tent is meant to keep you sheltered from the elements. this tent can't even keep out an ant. avoid and look at the euro hike or the gelert 6 which offer a fully sealed groundsheet, bigger bedrooms and 5000mm h/h.

Cold. I don't have 4 friends.

just a concerned citizen spreading the love. wouldn't want an unlucky punter going through what we went through. no links, just some friendly advice. take it or leave it

For £117 i dont think you can go wrong .People mention a sewn in ground sheet is a must to stop bugs etc...Well they still going to get in the same way you do ,through the big massive door. The nearest rival with a shelter and sewn in ground sheet is the Vango calder 500 £199
Here mine i put up today ,the only issue a few of the guide ropes were tied up wrong
Never mind the fat bloke ,he doesn't come with the tent package

Can't change link but this is the one I bought https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B01709R7AE

Very goid price for this. If I can find an extension to go with it I'm in.

I bought this tent a few days ago, not pitched it yet, alot of tents come with linked groundsheets, even the airbeam versions.
I suppose smedger is going to add links for the tents which are better for the same price? Or is he trolling.

The 600 is also slowly creeping down in price now £153.40

Backto, if you want an extension , I believe the Woburn and Calder have the same footprint, so look at whats available

Bacto, also if you want a front awning then likely better off with tent without the sun canopy.

Mine arrived late yesterday .. Hopefully put it up this afternoon
