Just returned Fridaty to Monday camping in Cambrigeshire. Pitching in gale force winds and rain, nice, (know why they call it the 'fly' sheet now,.)

My tent flexed and bent all through the night Friday, seemed to be doing its own Mixican wave. I daren't sleep, cause I thought the tent might take off if I shut my eyes for a minute. Then, the rains came Sunday night, ground was soaked, and rain came in under the fly, but no leaks through the material, and we were all snug and dry in the bedroom pod. So 10 out of 10 to my little Campus Sherpa 4 tent. Small but perfectly formed.

We have a Sun Valley 8.  I was a bit worried about going away this weekend as I have never used it in rain or wind before.  We had plenty of both this weekend and it stood up to it really well. No leaks at all.

As for the previous post we did not have any rain at all last night where we were and the inside of the tent was soaked this morning.  It is condensation that's all.

If your car windows are misted over when you get up it is a good sign the conditions/temperatures are right for you to have condensation inside the tent.
