Hi - my first post so hope you all don't fall asleep - lol.

Being novice campers my partner and I bought this same tent from Morrisons in Dukinfield. We haven't actually been camping before and thought for a starter tent the price was great so we bought it. Well we pitched it yesterday and wow it's well cool. And after reading all these posts on here we are sure we have got an absolute bargain - roll on the camping!!!

If anyone has any links to any decent campsite round the country so we can get started could you post em and I can have a nosey. Thanks. ;-)

You have got a bargain. It was over three times the price when it forst came out and is a good sturdy tent that will stand up to a lot of bad weather. And will last you for a few years, unlike most other £50 tents you'll find in the supermarket!

As I've said before though you might want to buy it some bigger pegs, an extra section of groundsheet for under the second pod and either add a storm flap along the sides of the living area or extend the extra groundsheet so it covers the living area twice and turns up the inside of the flysheet by six or eight inches. This will elliminate the draughts.
