Thanks to you all for your sound advice.

Having read and taken onboard your recommendations from my earler thread, I have discovered the Wynnster Eagle 6 and as a result of the extremely good reviews in the relevant section on the UKCS and the corresponding photos, I decided a trip to Caseys in Chester was due having viewed their web site and the offers that they currently have.

Unfortunately the 'Eagle' was not on display, but that wasn't a problem. 

The member of staff was superb - extremely knowledgeable and helpful and even took the time to measure out the dimensions outside on the gravel for us.

As a result of the reviews and photos by UKCS members, the price at Caseys and the helpful staff, I took the plunge and bought the 'Eagle'.

Thanks to all once again for taking the time to help with my conundrum.

I've just measured the grass in our garden and unfortunately I won't be able to pitch it properly out there, however I know a local farmer, who i'm sure will be willing to allow me pitch it on a piece of his 'Certified Site'!

Cheers guys, Mike

Now to book a weekend in North Wales!

Congratulations

Now you'll spend twice as much on the rest of the 'suff'

Remember some pics when you go and pitch.

We had our Eagle out two weeks ago for it's first airing and it is so big I'm just have going to have to spend more money to try and fill it. We've got the footprint ground sheet and last week bought a carpet for the Horizon 8 as we found that to be the best fit because Wynnster have told me they don't actually have a fitted carpet for the Eagle. It is a really super tent and I hope you have as much pleasure out of it as we will have. The footprint is ideal as it gives you a ground sheet in the porch as well as extra protection.

Hi, was hoping to pitch the 'Eagle' today on a local farmers field and give the kids a good run around in the fresh air at the same time.

Unfortunately - rain stops play!

I have also taken the plunge on the Eagle 6 based on the reviews and spec etc.

 

Should arrive tomorrow and hopefully do a test pitch on the weekend etc !!!
