We have the Norfolk Lake and love it. It's a very sturdy tent and dries out very quickly. Some people have commented on its darkness...definately not! With all the cloth curtains up I would say its a bit darker but then in the middle of summer on a bright sunny morning this is obviously of some benefit. In my old polyester tent I had to get up at 7 in the morning due to it being so hot and bright in the tent, the Norfolk is cooler and less bright. With curtains open the tent is very light and airy. It's a doddle to put up too and has a really heavy duty rubberised tarpaulin zip in groundsheet rather than the flimsy things that most tents have and alluminium alloy poles which make the tent very rigid. It really is an excellent tent. I was thinking of buying a tent for weekend use and keep the norfolk for longer stays but as we can get it up, pegged and guyed in under an hour then i don't think it's worth it.
I don't think you'd be dissapointed if you bought one.
Any other questions you might have, please ask.
