I think my head just exploded

Thanks val.

Will probably wait till we're next away to work out what appeals.(unless anyone else has more advice!)

Sorry!

But these were the points you raised, and I thought some pointers would be useful. No point in buying a tent that would be (a) too small inside and (b) too big for the pitch, at the same time!

Hi dunderheid

not sure if it's too far but we have a great camping shope next to us in Kingsmuir just outside Forfar Angus. It is a family owned business and they usually have around 20-30 tents on display, very helpful there with competetive prices. We bought our vermont m there last year and they couldn't have been more helpful.

Sorry can't get link to work but at least you have the address.

I know it seems such a shame. Whatever you decide I'm sure you'll have a good time. Good tent hunting!

I can recommend Kingsmuir as well. We went for a little foray (i.e. OH saying "We're just LOOKING, you do understand that?") and ended up coming back with tent, canopy, carpet, wind break (not yet used)..., etc. Well, the impulse buys are always the best.

They had a good display, were very helpful and no hard sell - and it was lovely to see all the tents up.

Congrats on your new purchase.

The Tigris is one of the tents that I am considering as a weekend tent, we love our Vermont but it's a heavy piece of kit. Isn't Kingsmuir great. I would visit more often but I'm afraid they will think I'm a camping stalker. 

we bought most of our camping gear from

www.kingsmuircampingcentre.co.uk

I think the owners are husband and wife, they were great ending up spending more than i should have that was because of the gear they sell and the good price it sells at. Its a bit tricky to find,

I will definalty use it again....
