Sorry folks but here you go
Outwell phoenix 7atc




For me this was the pick of the tents at the show
A quality fabric and a return to some of outwells nicer touches like all the curtains are zippy and the stripy bed pods
Even the part poled and part inflatable seemed to work
Studland 8 classic air





Really nice big family tent with a few nice touches like the forth bedroom which can go in the living area
Windows can be zipped down for ventilation but as one photo shows looks like it could suffer from the dreaded knees
Rhapsody 800


This tent was a bit of a let down pardon the pun
Still great quality and a decent tent but I think I'd still go for the Eden
No rain safe door and only one side door
Oversized tubes are a good improvement
But will make these vangos even heavier
A lotus bell tent


As you can see not standing height 100% Cotton canvas but very pricey at £660
There's also a bigger one

Standing height through out but no price
Then there was this little fella

We even had a look around the new OR 6.0xtr all of last year's problems allegedly ironed out
Fully zipped in ground sheet and wider taped seams
All in all a great show and looking forward to the October show
