I am not quite sure what I am looking at although there does seem to be two tiny black dots on the first photo consistent with needle holes. A tiny circle of Tenacious Tape will fix it, or even a spot of seam sealant.
The area underneath the bedroom pods is rarely examined, especially if the pods are in situ on the first erection. Some years ago I just happened to spot a tiny hole in the groundsheet underneath the bedroom pod on one of my tents, possibly from a thorn on the pitch although it could have been there from new. All I had available at the time was an Elastoplast so I stuck one over the hole and forgot about it. It remained there forever until I spotted it again just before selling and had to do a quick invisible repair with Tenacious Tape.
