Again as others have said a tarpaulin will do just as well as tent specific footprint just make sure its at least 50mm smaller all round than the tent to prevent water collecting on it.

When you next put your tent up you will find a QC data label on the right as you go in. (It may be in the Inner Tent or main room).
It will tell you the month and year in which your tent was made. This may help when buying spares and accessories.
It will also tell you not to set fire to your tent, this is quite important while camping.

Enjoy the liveliness of the syntax.

It is possible to pitch a BL6 single handed. I would not recommend it though especially if it's the first time you are pitching .It is much much easier with two people. There is a video on You Tube showing a guy pitching one on his own. It wore me out just watching him! Could be worth watching for tips on how to pitch though if solo pitching is your only option. Incidently, he pitches from front to back. We find it better to pitch from back to front but using pretty much the same system as he does apart from that.
Good Luck.

If you think you can, or you think you can't.......you're probably right!

Thanks
I can pitch mine on my own but as Bertie21 says it is easier with two, although it does depend on how well the helper listens (my husband doesn't listen, while my daughter does and usually second guesses me).
If you have room in your garden to test pitch before going you could always give it a try by yourself after watching the video.
