We went to st ives with our monty 6 and whilst putting it up in windy weather one of the upright poles split lengthways at the join onto the curved poles over the top) )
Did have a spare pole with us as this is the second time it has happened to us
Once up, the monty stood up to quiet heavy winds and rain during our stay (as did the canopy to my surprise)
Still an awesome tent and because of the built in ground sheet I will persevere with the beast

It's interesting to see how long it is since I made this original post. I returned the tent to the dealer and then spent months trying to get it back. All I wanted were my consumer rights and I didn't get them. Eventually the tent was returned with new poles but minus all my tent pegs and the pole that goes over the porch. The dealer then shut up shop and went out of business.
The tent has spent the last 8 years in the cellar, never opened again and without any poles. I haven't even checked if the repair was done to the tent itself, why bother? A repair to a tear is hardly going to be waterproof is it and who wants to sleep in a paddling pool.
So I wasted a load of money on a tent I managed to use for a weekend, of which only one night was as a functioning tent, the other 2 nights were in a wreck. I had weeks and weeks of pain trying to get my consumer rights from a dealer who then went bust and nothing from a manufacturer who, according to the dealer, it appears took my old poles, pegs and porch pole and replaced them with a new set of stronger poles but kept the pegs and porch pole.
It is very unlikely I will ever go camping ever again, the shoddy goods I paid hundreds of pounds for and the indifferent response from the manufacturer and dealer have totally ruined an activity I used to love as a child. As for the tent? Well it cost me over £500, I could have avoided all the pain and shoddy treatment, booked into a good B&B for the weekend, had a nice bed, hot bath or shower, real toilet and my breakfast cooked and server to me for less than that bloody tent cost.

Work is an interruption to the rest of my life.

) with both our tents... they were very apologetic and are posting it today to arrive at the campsite tomorrow... we've no choice but to use the older one tonight, and wait for the pole to arrive, when we will take down one tent and put up the new one - folk will think we're mad!
