Hi all, I'm new here and this is my first post.

My wife and I are planning a 4 week cycling tour from Maastricht, The Netherlands to Barcelona, Spain in mid. May, and are looking for a reasonably priced tent.

The Gelert Tornado 3 is about the right size and weight we need for the two of us with all the panniers, and enough room to spend the day in if coaght in a downpour, but have a question about the ventilation of this model. None of the sites write anything about it. And we can't seem to find any photos of the back of the tent to see if there is a window.

We were wondering if anyone has bought or has experiance with this tent. Or maybe know of something similar?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Davie.

hiya,

i haven't seen the gelert tornado 3 but i have a gelert renesse 3 plus for sale, i have only used it once and there is nothing wrong with it, i have just found when i go camping i take every thing but the kitchen sink so i am looking for a bigger tent. i brought it for £130 about 10 months ago i am looking to get about £70 ono for it.

if you go onto google and type the name in you will see all the spec on it

Thanks for all your reply's but the main question is still to be answered.

How is the vantilation? Is there some kind on window anywhere on the tent?

It might be perfect for England also here in Holland but, is it going to be a bit hot campining in the south of France and Spain?

Cheers

I think one gets what he pay's for. I really shouldn't expect too much for that price. I'm also looking at some other more expansive tents (with a lot of vantilation) from Jack Wolfskin and Wild Country tents at http://www.outdoorfocus.co.uk/, spending 150p to 200p for a comfortable tent still beats a Hotel or B&B. My wife and I can still share the weight of the tent on our bikes.
