We did it! ... The Tent went up in the Garden for a practise run.

It was very straight forward to erect and very roomy. Should be home from home once i get all the creature comforts in.

Just read this thread.  Sorry to hear about hubby's job but delighted you got your tent.  Have a great time.

You could check out the Wynnster Perpignan 8 - it had a good write up in the Camping and Caravaning Magazine earlier this year, but I haven't seen any user reviews as yet. It's pretty big.
It's available from Somerset Camping at £329

 Hope you have a great time on your maiden voyage! Try not to think about employment situation until you get back, it will only detract from your enjoyment.

Many thanks for your well wishes. My motto is to camp, drink (not too much these days!) and be merry for our holiday!

Hi Honey,s we're home!

The whole family had a fab time camping in very rainy Devon. The weather was pretty horrendous and many gave up and went home (light weights!). We stuck it out through wind rain and a little sunshine and thoroughly enjoyed our camping trip and cant wait to get out there again with my baby Filey 6. We managed to buy the Vestibule before we went and it was worth every penny especially with the bad weather.

I do have 1 question and a little moan. The tent withstood strong winds and absolute bucket loads of rain and we remained dry. But it did seem and the rain was penetrating the canopy with the vestibule attatched. Would this be normal considering how much rain we had or does it need water proofing?
