Hi everyone, me, my OH and our 2 kids are totally new to this camping lark, we've been thinking about camping for a while now and at the weekend we drove round some campsites to see what we like. And today we went back to look at the tent we had our eye on only to upgrade it to the bigger one! It's the Gelert Horizon 8 and after reading all the reviews here I've made our mind up! We're now waiting for a good deal :s ( we've seen it with a free carpet but we'd like to see a bit knocked off the price! ) 

I've been totally hooked to this site ALL afternoon and found some invaluble tips as well as having a chuckle

As we don't have a clue what we're doing any advice and help would be gratefully recieved. No doubt I will be asking all those silly questions.

Thanks for the welcomes.

The price was £249.99 with free carpet, (the carpet alone was £39.99)

We'd also like the extra porch bit, that was £79.99, good price?

It's the one in the link, is that a new style one?! I've only seen that one.

We will defo try and haggle in the shop, good idea, we didn't think of that but it's worth a go, after all we will be buying more things from there.

Thanks for the info

i like the horizon looked at it before we had gelert quebec(now called albury) for me it was cost at time really although i spoke to couple who had one on my last trip they have had quite a few broken poles and in not really windy weather!!! one broke while we were there it was very windy but i didnt expect poles to break and they had more protection than us but it looks ace and as said before only one thing stopped me getting it i got my quebec for £150 cause its an older model
