Hi

We are currently the proud owners of a outwell norfolk lake but i am now looking for a weekend tent i would like to keep to outwell but i would consider others. I

 have started to look at the minnesota 4 but just wondered if they are worth the money as a weekend tent.

Please Help.

Have you looked at the 'Sea' range.  Same fabrics as the 'Lakes'.

You have had the same thought as us.  We have a Bear Lake, fab tent, but much too big for overnights.  We went shopping on Saturday and came home with a Sunncamp Evolution 400.  Not in the same league as the Bear Lake but quick to erect, stable in winds, SIG, enough room for 4 to sleep and a reasonable porch area.

Yes we did look at the sea range but still a bit pricey. We just can't seem to find anything other than outwell that takes our fancy especially the polycotton ones.  What is one to do .

weve got a large outwell family tent, and a smaller weekend tent.  I was so impressed with the outwell, i also thought about sticking to outwell.  However i thought that while there large tent were worth paying for as they were fairly unrivaled, i felt there were enough  good smaller tents out there to search for one at a better price. 

 Ended up getting a Sandringham from Millets.  it cost £129 last year, but by the end of the season it was down to £70 (although i noticed its back to £129 again now!).  Anyway i bought one last year and im really pleased with it.  I can errect it on my own in 20 mins and took 3 kids away in it on my own. (its a 4 berth with good standing room, plenty of living space and packs away very small and light.
