Lol!
I have a lot of tents. I'd have to get them out of the cupboard and count them to find out how many, but I can't be bothered. I have tents from a Gelert Nakina Plus (£22.00) which doesn't leak to a Vango Force 10 Mk 4 (which also doesn't leak, and a few in between.
However, the best value tent I have ever bought is a Quechua 2-second (2-person) tent from Decathlon. In fact, it is so good, in any weather conditions, that I am thinking of buying two more, the 2-second XL with the living area and porch, and the 1-second, which is the same as the two second but packs to a circle of just 57cm diameter.
Go with the Gelert if you want to, but avoid the Outwell one, they are a lot more expensive and modern Outwell tents leak. Id you have a Decathlon near to you, go there, they are brilliant.
Buy the way. All those of you who are looking for a family tent and fancy the Outwells, won't buy Vango and any of the other better brands, but are worried about quality, look at Decathlon. They have their own brand of family tents, made in their own factory in France and are watertight.

Thanks everyone for your comments you've given me loads of ideas.
After the girls camping in a small leaking 2 man tent on a very wet bank holiday weekend the Quechua 2 second Xl sounds great !, as the girls really would like some living space and the porch would be handy.
Just need to find a branch of Decathlon nr Berkshire now!
Thanks again Dez&theGang
if you dont manage to find one you could always shop online,
