I just bought this Minnesota 6 from Yeomans Outdoors for £219.95.

It is my first tent since I was a teenager in the '60s. Spent 45 mins pitching it, and I would say this could be done in 20 mins next time round.

The front extension was £74.95 but is out of stock.

Great price and a great tent 17

Consider getting the footprint/carpet if you can, they will protect the SIG.

We've got a Minny 6 although we haven't used it yet.

I'm not sure if you're near a Milletts, but we managed to get a canopy for ours for £20, the bag had never been opened.

We have got the extension but as there'll mainly be two of us, we think we'll use the canopy for weekends.17 

We're quite chuffed, we got the tent, extension, carpet and canopy for £365. Just need the footprint now but will probably go for a standard one.
