Watch the Outwell video here. It is very good and demonstrates both pitching and the best way to fold the tent up and get it back in the bag (the bag is very generous so you can get it back in after a fairly poor "fold 'n' roll").
The only thing I differ on is the pegging out of the back corners before the pole insertion. I find that whilst this keeps the tent in place it is harder to bend the poles and "ring 'n' pin" them as you are fighting against the pegs. I get the poles in first, then move the tent into position and peg the corners before raising and walking out the poles - try it either way and see which you feel is best.
This is a really easy tent to pitch and take down.
Good deal btw which I saw yesterday in a Go Outdoors mail shot. I got mine on a price match against a Yeomans special weekend sale for £172, but with the canopy I still paid more than you.
You will like this tent, especially with the front extension.
