Hi there, we have an old Khyam Ridgidome which always stood up to awful weather really well and a colleague was camping this week with a modern Khyam and he said it was fine.

I agree that frame tents are very good too - we had a huge green canvas tent that we used for years and once it stayed up while everyone else on the site was blowing away.

We've got a tunnel tent now - glad I wasn't away in it this weekend!

We have an old vango equinox TBS with internal tension bands that can be tightened in windy weather. Haven't used it for a while, but I seem to remember it being OK in breezy weather. Does anyone else have something similar, and has it stood up to the wind well?

Will be investing in delta ground anchors soon, though.

We are really in a different league with this type of tent, it is more of a mountain/expedition tent than a family tent, and at £330.00 SRP I would expect a small four man crawl in tent to perform well in a breeze

I think the old school Vango force ten held down with delta pegs would be the mutts, but as I said I now need walk in comfort or the other half might cut off my camping trips
