The worst tent we have ever owned was a stormproof USA, it was a shoddy excuse of a tent. I had a litchfield some years ago and that was OK.

We like our Peakland Stanedge cos it's perfectly capable for our needs so it's the best we've had I suppose.

Got to go with the Outwell as the best.We have a Harford L and was away last week in Somerset some 150yards from the sea, and it stood up to howling gales and rain without a single problem. Brilliant!

the best tent i have owned would be my wynnster  and the worst would be a dome tent from cyber checkout, birds used to fly in underneath it and perch on my sleeping pod! mainly worried about which way the birds rear end was pointing!

Hi Rex

Of all the towns in yorkshire....thats where we live Dewsbury. there are some nice parts still and some blooming orrible parts like all places. Our bit isnt bad but down the road it gets abit ropey!!!

You wont recognise it at all soon they are doing the town centre up and the old coop building is going to become retail units and flats.

Best: CABANON, CABANON and CABANON !!!!!

Worst: Haven't really had a worst, just tents that didn't really fit my requirements as much as I thought once I'd used them.

The best a Wynnster - which we've just sold after many years happy camping in it.

The worst - a Vango, made the mistake of buying a new Killington to replace the Wynnster which the family had outgrown- no camping in it yet (or ever?)

Another best vote for the Outwell, worst would be an un named 3 man tent we used back in the early 90's. But its was fun whilst it lasted, three days.
