Hi guys,

We have our 2011 Icarus 500 for weekend tenting in Scotland, nice wee tent TBH.
We are going to trek to France next year for possibly 3 weeks in late June. We've not decided where we are going, but seeing as we're making the effort to cross the channel I fancy finding the sunshine!

Now, we will need a new tent for a longer holiday and something that will deal well with (hopefully) warmer climates! We are a family of 4 and have a dog, so something with enough space to accommodate us all..budget, not sure, just see what takes our fancy from the suggestions..

Thanks in advance :-D



Are you planning on travelling around or staying in one place?

To be honest maybe a week the Loire and another week around Paris, so 2 camps. I am going to Glasgow at the weekend so I will pop into go outdoors to see what they have erected, then I can get a good look at pack sizes etc..
Thanks for the input guys..

If your interested, I'm just south of Glasgow and have a 2012 Outwell bear lake 6 for sale. It's got the green stripes bedrooms ( newer model ) its been slept in for 5 nights, never cooked in, never smoked in. It's in as new condition and its got the line-lok clamcleats fitted to all guy ropes. I've also got the front extension and side extension plus the ground - sheet / footprint.

If your interested let me know. The whole tent plus the 2 extensions are all - Polycotton ideal for hot and cold climes - it's an amazing setup.

Let me know if you d be interested as I'm about to advertise it as our new smaller tent arrived today!
