Came home Sunday morning with a wet PC tent, put it up straight away in the garden, had a cuppa, unloaded the rest of the gear, then took the tent down... bone dry in a good hour or so! Weather was perfect, breezy and sunny.
In the winter however, when there is little chance of achieving anything in the garden, I can just about manage to lay it on the spare bedroom floor for three nights, moving it about each evening to expose a different area. I can then just about manage to get it back in its (over-sized) bag, but not, of course, folded properly!
All this is with my Frinton 4 Classic.
If I bring the Filey 6 Classic home wet, that is a whole different ball game. The spare rooms a no-no, so my only option is to get it up in the garden. It just fits! There it would stay until dry, be that an hour, a day, or a week! Better up wet, than down wet!!
I winder if my local repair centre does/would entertain a drying service? Hmmm.... interesting!

We're soon off camping apparently - putting up in the rain should guarantee a good row.
