Can't believe I am getting excited about buying a tent- I am one of those people who said a big "NO WAY!" to camping- I like my proper toilets, proper beds, no creepy crawlies etc.... but after much moaning and persuading from my OH and seeing my 2 year old son having a whale of a time in the tent displays at Go Outdoors in Wakefield .... and of course reading loads and loads of posts on this (may I say excellent website... creep, creep!!) we finally got a second hand Outwell Montana 6 with footprint, front extension, carpet- this was from posting a wanted advert on here, the lovely couple even threw in the canopy and EHU as well- all for £200- and all been looked after brilliantly and hardly used!

So now we are just waiting for our back garden to dry up and me and the hubbie will be trying to get the tent up (and no doubt be falling out in the process!!)- but we can't wait.

One thing though before I go..... HOW BIG IS THE BLINKING TENT BAG!!

Wow Phoebenut, those tents are massive, we were down at Go outdoors at wakefield saturday, they had some good display tents, and the wind was as good way to show the stronger tents,

We are now going back to camping, caravanning was boring, the kids seem to enjoy camping much more,

Well done on your choice..

Sounds like you got a bargain phoebenuts.  You will find now that you visit go outdoors like you visit the supermarket - very often!!

Go outdoors is great, its just a shame its on my doorstep cos it costs me a fortune living so close!

Falling out whilst pitching is obligatory lol

Dont worry, after a few choice words and some huffing and puffing, you will forget all about it and be ok again :)

Congrats on your new tent.

Happy camping
