Hi after struggling to get on any CC&C sites me and my partner are going to buy a smaler tent. We are going keep the Hartford xl for non CC&C sites.

The specs for the tent are:

we need a good size sitting room for rainy days also one we can stand up in. 4 or more berth if poss, can fit on CC&C sites with EHU.

Cheers for the help

Matt

Did you see the piece in the CCC mag this month?, they are now providing jumbo pitches on some sites for larger tents.

There is a little bit about pegging out for the first time in this months mag and it mentions that if you have a large tent look in your large tent sites book to find a site then go a try pitching your tent. Does anyone know where to get this book from or is it one that comes free if your a member of the CC&C?

Thanks

you can go on to their website and type large tent sites in the search box, any reason why it has to be a c&c site.

i have a gelert zenith just as big as yours and i struggled with a few sites but managed to get a list of a few that will accept it. we are going to a site in anglesey may bank hols only chrged £20.00 a night which is great and that was with extra people and EHU.

good luck tent hunting,

We have 2 smaller tents, both 5 berth which are better for short breaks for the 4 of us. Vango Venture 500, now only available from Go Outdoors I think and outwell oregon 5. Long story why we have 2 but both quick and simple to pitch and easily fit on a regular pitch.
