Thanks, I can't tell you why but I really like it too
I did the same with the front pole, attached two guys because the wind had picked up but should have thought to have done the rear pole.

For a two man tent I can't get over the internal size being so generous considering that with modern tents you need a three berth when buying for two.

That's one of the nicest tents I've ever seen.  Its just so perfect.  I don't mind the dark interior, its great for sleeping (and afternoon snoozes)!

Thanks for the pics, enjoyed that!

Any idea of its width, to compare with a modern tent?

With any luck we might be getting hold of an aluminium outer frame for the tent, from a force 10, it will be interesting to see if it fits.

I can concur that it's a wonderful tent, mine is an old friend since I bought it in 1978 in the Blacks Shop in Edgbaston, Birmingham. It has seen plenty of use but is still sound. I prefer it to modern tents but these days I do either caravanning or lightweight cycle-camping so I'd like it to go to somebody who will cherish it.


Best wishes from Sheffield
