Hi, I'm hoping people on this forum will be able to help my hubby and Ichoose a tent that is suitable for us (we don't have kids...yet!). We have camped a couple of times and loved it. We bought a cheap tent (£99) which lasted 3 or 4 trips, until we had awful weather (High winds) in Cornwall this summer, which obliterated our humble offering, and subsequently we binned it as we left! We are looking now to buy a sturdy tent that will comfortably accomodate us and all our stuff for a fortnights camping next summer, probably in Cornwall again. The main criteria we have are - must be pitched fly first or as one and must have standing height in at least the living space, if not the bedroom space as well. It must be relatively easy to put up. We have little space to dry a tent at home so a separate or preferably detachable groundsheet. We had decided on a Darwin 5 as it easily ticked all the boxes, but have since found they are nearly impossible to get hold of (although the Darwin 7's appear to be everywhere!). Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. We have a budget in the region of £300-£400 (we want a good investment this time!!).
Thanks in Advance
Lisa
