Well I was passing Winfields store at Haslingden and noticed the Tent display had just been populated with a whole bunch of Tents, many new models from Outwell, Vango etc, to long to list, So of course I had to call in, I spoke to staff who were just putting the finishing touches to the displays, many Tents still awaiting there price tickets, but no doubt all will be completed to-day, all tents on display are Polyester, not a single Polycotton Tent in sight, staff said that the Polycotton tents had become to expensive for this season and they will not be displaying/Stocking any, although they do have a Bear Lake in stock from 2008 going for £799, which is from stock, not an ex-display item, bargain then for somebody on here maybe.

Hi rickit.

           Never checked prices, and I don't much about Outwell's as they don't do Cotton Canvas, still could be worth giving Winfields a call, as they ain't putting that Bear Lake on display, so the only way they are gona sell it, is they get a call, I would say go in at £500 and see what they say. I am sure it must be worth that?.

Hi Atherwitzend.

                       Just a pity they don't have any Polycottons on display, as a retailer you would think the would just have one of each Vango and Outwell, if for to order only, I am sure the manufacturers would have backed them up, the difference in Vango and Outwell Polycotton's is quite noticebal, the Vango offering is more lightweight, but still a lot more substantial than the Polyester, when you are over this way again, pop into Castlecroft Camping at Radclifffe, they have an indoor display that features Vango Polycottons.

I feel a visit to my brother coming up - he lives very near Haslingden so it'll be a good excuse to just 'pop in' and see the tents as I'm over that way!!
