 Now i'm worried,was hoping to test today but it aint stopped raining all day!!!

I'm going to have to risk it cos there is no time tomorrow, what odds would i get at the bookies for a leaking tent

well to put your mind at rest, ours didnt leak it just had a big hole in it, the clips were broken and it was sewn together badly....

i would just check all is there though before you go!

I finally managed to put my XXL up in the local park today for the first time. Myself the better half and our ten year old daughter managed it in windy conditions in just over 50 minutes. Bear in mind that the conditions were not perfect, in line with our knowledge of ring & pin, guy ropes et al, I think this was a good effort.

Yes, the XXL is a big tent, yes the pods aren't all full height. When you weigh up these facts against the benefits of space for movement, storage and sleeping, though, I don't think you can knock it.

My wife was sold on the idea that the groundsheet is sewn in so there will be no crawly visitors in the dead of night!

Looking forward to taking it to the Lake District this weekend. Can't wait!
