It was a decentish week weatherwise, except for a couple of very windy days and nights.  The Carolina 3 proved its worth and despite a bit of swaying, stayed rock solid, no damage.  The airbed however found a new home in the site bin after we went and bought a self inflating mattress, having got sick of blowing the airbed up again every night.  I cant believe the difference in warmth!  Another good buy.

Next on the list, an extension for the Carolina......any recommendations?

seriously? is a sim really that much warmer?

thought about getting one for ages but never have, bit sceptical

you putting any pics up?

Hi Sevens,

I see you are asking about an extension for the Carolina 3 (M), We have the Carolina L and have just bought and tried out the Gelert Horizon 6 SIDE extension. It was a fantastic fit and more or less the same colour (you would have had to look very closely to know the tent and extension were not the same make). We didn't use the groundsheet they provided with the extension because we still used the side guy ropes of the tent. It was great for cooking in and just for sitting in when the weather was pretty grotty. It is wider than the dedicated outwell porch. It has a detachable front and curtains. Really recommend

We were staying at West Runton C& CC site, nice little site not far from Cromer.  More sheltered than other sites we passed locally.  First time using the Handirack system too which I'm highly impressed with.  The SIM was definitely warmer and that was without all my usual extra insulation.  Will find some pics later.
