Hiya all

I'm hankering after a 'proper' canvas bell tent. what do you think? any pro's or con's? am i just having rosy tinted day dreams and should i just stick to my little black tent?

or - is a traditional ridge type canvas tent better than a round one?

and is around £250 fairly reasonable?

thanks in advance for any tips. am just waiting for the nights to warm up a bit then we're off!

I love proper canvas tents.  They feel so much more breathable and they look prettiest too.

I've put up lots of different sorts over the years - from little ridge tents like mine, to round pavillions, to big things that are more like circus tents - they're all pretty quick and easy once you know how.

There is a pyramide 4 on ebay,with a starting price of £50. This my suit your needs as it a cross of a bell and ridge tent and canvas.

Thanks chaps. At the mo it's me and my 2 gals who camp - they're 9 & 11 now. but have managed to pursuade hubby to come along for a weekend planned in May!!!!! it's taken years! Will check out the pyramide and let you know how my investigations go.
