Is there much difference between the Noumea and the Guadeloupe?? I LOVE my Guadeloupe so much but when I go solo I was wondering if the Noumea is much lighter?? I couldnt find its weight and do I REALLY need a smaller version???? Maybe if I hunt for second hand or wait til the end of season. Having said that if there isnt much difference then there is no point,

All advice welocme - thanks x

Can't help you with your query re:weight Robyn, sorry.

And as for stopping you buying a good tent...well when did you ever see that happen on here?

The Noumea weighs 17.4kg whereas the Guadalope weighs 24kg. Hope this helps.

You're in the wrong place to be stopped from buying another tent

I can see I will be parting with me cash yet again and adding to my collection. Wish to could see them side by side to gauge the difference

Thanks everyone

Where have you seen the noumea? It is as cute as hell but not very big.

There is one on marktplaats for €100. Very tempting but way too small for us

Never seen on in the flesh Angie, just saw it was 2 birth and wondered would it be good for when I go camping alone? They look wonderful x

I used to be ok before I came on here, now I'm totally mental and fast running out of storage space to store my tents. I blame it ALL on this Forum. I'm even eyeing another one now and it's local... it's a disease I tell you, a disease and there's no cure
