Having just returned from Hardwick Parks near Oxford where we enjoyed over 40 hours of continuous rain with gales thrown in we can safely report that the Vango Aspen 700 DLX does not leak. We can also advise that Delta pegs do not budge and while some around abandoned pitch the Aspen stood firm. We have, however, gone slightly tent crazy having been confined under canvas for too long but can further advise that 2 x 3ltr wine boxes for 3 nights camping is just about sufficient.

So how can you remember if the tent leaked or not?

Never confuse a leaking tent with an overworked bladder!
