Well we're back and i love it!
Putting it up went well, probably took just short of an hour, did it the way of the Youtube video, quite easy and straight forward although a little heavier than i realised.
Once set up and unpacked it was lovely and cosy, the carpet does really make a difference and the kids were so pleased with their room.
This morning awoke to heavy rain!
We spotted one slight leak (it really is tiny, abit of a drip) on one of the window seams and we have a toggle missing off another window, but thats it so was very pleased.
After completely emptying the tent and putting the kids in the car (telling them we may be some time!) We began to take it down.
The poles come out effortlessly, really easy and it is as simple to take down as it is to put up, however, it really was raining hard by now and there were massive puddles forming all over it, making the flysheet very heavy!
After folding and lifting a few times to get most of the water off we began to fold it (remembering the tip about getting all the air out) and found the best way was to roll forwards and back across it lol! Yes i was soaked through to my skin lol!
We managed to get it in the bag first time yipeeeee!
(took and hour and 20 mins in all though, that was mainly due to the rain)
If anyone is thinking about getting one of these tents.....go for it!
