Just spent a week at Highbate Barn in Poulton-Le-Fylde, just north of Blackpool, in our Vango Monte Verde 900.  A lovely week in our comfortable tent, at a gem of a site...

Obvioulsy a popular spot, looking at the bare patches, the trees sheltered us from the wind and provided us with a bit of privacy.  Lovely site.

Lovely pictures, and even the weather was nice!
I love the sheltering trees.

Don't follow the official video when erecting, start at the back, peg the back down and then work your way forwards, inserting each pole as you go.  Peg the guy lines down as you go to hold it up.  It's much easier than lifting everything in one go.

The tent is a beast, but so roomy and is light and airy inside.  You'll not be disappointed.

Hi great pics, glad you had a good time. We recently got back from our first camping holiday at filey, was good but not great, bad weather, not good neighbours.:(

Like the std issue wine bottle...lol
