Hi Den and Sue,

we have the same tent, and  we do tie the bedroom to the centre of the fly sheet before rasing the poles.

You will have to peg the fly sheet out, away from the bedroom etc., so as rain will run away from you. The same goes for an extra groundsheet, if you made it a bit bigger and it was to come out under the fly then any rain would run inside the tent. But a good idea to have the extra groundsheet so it keeps your tent clean for packing away. We bought a cheap tarp from B&Q for £6.

I know what you mean about the 'so called' instructions, but did find it quite quick to put up, once we got going.

Hope that helps. Happy camping.

Clare.

Hi Den and Sue -

We have a Canyon 6 as our 'weekend ' tent ( our main tent is a massive dome one ) and as Clare has answered your questions I'll just say a big  Welcome to UKCS and to camping in general  .You'll love it . 

We have also come into camping later ( I'm 43 - hubby is 56 )  but wish we'd started years ago !
