Well, (being the OP in early fifties) - we did manage 4 nights over the easter weekend, during which we firstly discovered that our 'bargain' tent had a 7 inch horizontal tear in the side about 10 " from the ground, our other 'bargain' extension has two tears and no tent pegs. Our tent leaks - all of which we didnt expect taking as gospel that things were in 'excellent condition' - lesson learned there then!!!
We experienced, sunshine, heavy rain, high winds, hail, and even snow, and observed a few dead tents and gazebos by the bins at the site, half way through our stay, and most campers cutting short their stay.
We stuck it out and had some fun and established that we like camping, and we can do it, even in some adversity, and we came back still smiling. However, I will be a bit more picky about the weather forecast for future outings as it is infinitely more fun and pleasurable when it is dry and sunny!!!
Oh and I am avidly now looking at the shiny new air tents around, but reading some of those reviews, it does make me wonder if our leaky, torn Monty 6 may be better.......
