We here as experienced campers can only give you our advise its entirely upto you how you use it, if your uncomfortable wet or cold your going to hate camping i have camped in summer without a SIG and still felt chilly in an old slumbalux tunnel tent i decided a long time ago its SIG  all the way.

i would also suggest your more likely to get your tent lifted like a kite without SIG

Just choose carefully or you are going to hate it if your cold wet and miserable.

This does not mean buy my tent there are other tents around which would be better suited than the millets ones you have chosen, dont let saving a few quid ruin your break

I gave you some good examples in the few opening posts on this thread

Airbeds are really cheap at Go so are sleeping bags or just save yourself a few quid and take your quilt and a sheet from home. £4 buys you the best camping light around from wilkos

If you get a tent for around the £70 mark its not going to be upto much to be honest although there are plenty good ones around the £100 - £150 mark try forget your millets/halfords/b&q/tesco/asda/argos specials. it could end in disaster if your actually hit with rough weather which is actually forecast. try getting something SIG for more comfort and warmth.

ebay is a good call try looking for some not very old decent model makes and read up and review them and then bid your limit look for something ideally over 190cm high, bedroom width over 280cm, and something with a hydrostatic head of 2000 or more.

Good luck with your search theres not much more info i can give you from here

Ritchie Rich...

We think we want to buy your tent, we are on our last day here today and whilst the tent has stood upto the rain and wind very well when relaxing in the tent on a night it the ammount of bugs coming in around the edge of the ground sheet is quite annoying... daddy long legs and allsorts.

Also annoying when we have to put the doors down everytime it rains wheareas with yours we wouldnt have that issue.

The living area on ours is quite spacious what is the living area like on yours?  Do you know sizes?

The length of our tent including living area is 535Cm and living area alone is 315cm.
