Hi we are currently selling a Norfolk Lake on Pre-Loved web site if your interested
We bought it to replace our Bear Lake but have decided to go for a Wolf lake instead.
Its as new a tent you can find for a 2nd hand one ( if you know what I mean ) and has the Norfolk lake carpet, The Bear lake footprint and side extensions also fit and are currently available.
This is a great tent and would be a good buy for someone.I have photos if you are interested

Well, I'm forever browsing and I think we've come up with a cunning plan.
We can't decide on which compromise to make with the polycotton tents, probably down to our lack of camping experience. We want the tent to be 'the one' but we need it to be too many things I think. So, we're going to get a smaller, polyester tent to tide us over and which we can continue to use as a weekend tent too. I am drawn to the Montana 6 for this I think. I'll have £500 to spend after next pay day and I'm going to see what I can get for that (tent, footprint, carpet and awning all on the 'I want' list).
I suggest you read my post in the main section of the forum and see if you can find the money for this Saturday. I doubt you'll get a Monty cheaper. You'll also have to go Thursday evening to buy the footprint, carpet and awning.
Don't forget to leave a review of all tents you've used, for a chance to win fantastic prizes
We were the same, went to a tent show on a windy day intending to buy a Montana 6 and came away with a Wolf Lake 5. It's got more than enough space for the four of us, we don't have loads of "furniture". It's big enough to be quite an operation to pitch though, we still use our small dome tent for weekends. If I were you I'd get a lighter bendy-pole tent for short trips like one of the Vangos that are so popular. Then you can eye up the other tents on campsites and choose what you'd like to splash the cash on
