A much as I like bell tents I think they're a bit impractical because there is no outdoor protection (porch/awning in other words) for cooking and sitting out in the rain on those warm wet english summer nights. You could get a tarp to go with it - and there are some nice big cotton canvas ones that would perfectly match the tent, but thats an extra bit of kit. For anyone that likes a retro looking (pre 20th century!) canvas tent I'd say go for a decent pyramid.

Thanks for the info caster –
Martin, the Soulpad in the rain was also one of my concerns especially getting in and out without letting in water. Unsure if the roof vent could be partially opened in the rain without leakage allowing cooking inside.
What woud you consider to be a 'decent pyramid'?

De Waard, Randstad and Cabanon in that order but I'm biased (see my gallery shot), however the first two are prohibitively expensive new and virtually impossible to get hold of in this country but can be picked up pretty cheap second-hand in Holland. The Cabanon Guadeloupe is a good tent for a good price easily available in this country - but if anything ever happened to our De Waard I'd be straight over to Holland again to get another second-hand one rather than buy a new Cabanon - just personal taste.
