took my daughter and myself away for a few days in our new 3 man pop up tent. Decided to get it as i was worried the weather would be horrible and wanted to pitch quickly. It was fantastic and stood up to a horrible gale and pour down we had during the night in north berwick area on friday night. Its a eurohike flash 3 from millets. It was lovely and waterproof and had a flyscreen as well which came in useful as the area is full of tiny cornflies of the fields. Putting it down is also not too bad once you get the hang of it. (having a childs pop up tent for my daughter prepared me for that part! LOL) Think it would be a bit too cosy with absolutely no where to stand with 3 but for two was good.would recommend it for a small trip away.

Congrats on a successful trip. We watched a family struggle for hours at a festival recently, when it came to putting their pop up tent away - they just kept missing that final necessary twist, that leaves you with a stack of hoops about 70cm across...they eventually got some help from a passerby who had that knack!

Have you thought about getting a tarp & poles to give you a porch area for the pop up tent? These seem to be really popular this year.

Had to laugh this weekend when we put our pop up tent in the garden for the kids to camp out in. Cracking little tent but god could we get it back in the bag!! After about an hour of faffing about, we had to pass it over the fence for our neighbour to do it first time. We felt really stupid. I think we must be missing that final necessary twist too
