Anyone got one of these? Just got one for my son's weekend activities but slightly worried to see that the built in ground sheet is just the same stuff as the fly sheet. Is this standard or have I got a dodgy one? I'll obviously pick up a ground sheet for it but just wanted to check.

Also, can you really put the tent up in 20 seconds? Took us about 5 mins so not bad. Might video son putting tent up as an alternative Khyam video!!

Oh UKCampsite you have let me down . Any question on anything non tent related has been answered in record speed, but a question on a tent (heaven forbid ) has gone unanswered.

Never mind, I phoned Khyam up and they said it was normal, and go spend another £15 on a ground sheet!!

Thank you anyway people.

Didn,t know the answer to your first question, but when you get your foot print ground sheet it will keep the mud off the tent and it keeps the tent warmer .  We use a cut down tarp from B & Q  £5.00  works just the same as the £15.00 one.

I haven't seen the highlander in the flash but have owned the McKinley and Freelander (same range)

Their grounsheets are tougher than the flysheets but like Pegtent says the footprint is a good idea anyway as it prolongs the life of the tent.

You will be able to pitch in 20 seconds but pegging out takes a little longer.

My Freelander takes me 5 mins complete with pegging out and it's the biggest of that particular range.
