I love my Hemsby....  bought it early last year £400 or there abouts.  So I think £289 is a fab price.

Found putting it up a bit tricky at first, but once we remembered to half zip the front door (wouldn't go up straight otherwise).  We can now get it up in under 40 mins. Although in last years gale force winds in August it took a little longer.

As for space........ cannot fault it. It accomodated me, my DH, my 5yo & 12m boys and all their stuff, we left the table and chairs up too and when the weather wasn't too good my mum & dad visiting from their little tent next door.  It has storage pockets, so the living space can be relatively clutter free, and the side room was a great space for suitcases and clothes.

Can't wait to get out this year....

Hi

2 season camping effectively refers to the fact that it's more suited to late Spring to Early Autumn conditions in the UK. Most family tents are only 2 season - ie. not designed for the extremes of weather, snow etc.

Yes, 4000mm is the same as 4000HH - its basically the supposed height of a column of water over the canvas before it will leak through. Weathershield is the branding Kampa have given to their flysheet material.

I am considering the Kampa Bude 4 as a potential purchase later in the year - the Kampa range all seem to have very good spec. Although when it comes to tunnels with fibreglass poles, I like the reassurance of Vango's TBSII strapping system to reduce the poles flexing in very high winds. With steel poles I am not so concerned.
