Wow looks lovely i am sure you will have a great time in that i brought my first outwell last season it was the best thing i ever brought but need to save for a bigger one for next year we got the utah as i didnt want sewn in groundsheet cause if my son gets too hot he fits but docs are hopeful he will grow out of that so we can look at next yr or two getting an outwell with sewn in another feature of utah i like is the panaoramic views they have made it into a sig this season and called it the dakota i think someone said.

We are a family of 5 with a Montana and front extension which we found particularly fab when we recently had a few showers but it was still warm enough to sit in it outside.  Here's my hubby sat outside ours.

Nice tent......What's "he" called???? (come on.... you have to keep up with UKCS tradition!!)

You could always show him off at Deers Glade in September or might it be that you will have a weekend tent by then ??

Lovely tent - how about naming him Montague the Montana?

I bet you can't wait for your first outing in him!

Is he coming to Deers Glade?

Wow, we took possession of ours a couple of weeks ago, first trip planned in a couple of weeks.  Don't have the front extension yet though, hopefully next year.

Btw, my little darling is a girl named Hanna!

If you do by the extension next year I recommend the Awning as being better value for money

Hi

We bought a Monty 6 this year and used it once already. Rained for 2 days, had some strong winds and then freezing conditions on the last night but the Monty stood up to it really well.  We love it to bits and taking it to Isle of Wight for 2 weeks holiday beginning of July - can't wait and hope we get better weather this year.

Out of interest, which method of pitching did you use?

We have had Montgomory for 5 years now and taking him on first outing with an awning this weekend. Started with the canopy, then the extension so v. excited about the latest addition to the family.

Will take pics  - btw love the sofa floggit!

As for pitching - Yeomans method on you tube is good. Can manage to get the tent up and pegged out in under 20 mins solo now but it takes some practice.

Have been considering retiring Montgomory this year as he has a few rips and tears inside and has seen exceptional service but we can't decide what we would replace him with.

 

GS.
