Thanks everyone for the advice. I am now investigating a Sunncamp Vulcan 600. Which apparently has steel poles and is a geodesic design. Does anyone have any advice with regard to this brand and tent?

Check the poles - just had a quick look at one retailer who says that they are PE coated aluminium which won't be as strong as steel.

Hello we have recently been shopping for our second tent & looked at all manner of different tents on local display sites,however a couple of weeks ago while visiting a display on a very windy site one tent stood out head & shoulders above the rest,whilst other tents were flapping & straining in the wind a "coleman mackenzie cabin4" stood rock solid despite being in one of the more exposed positions,We have now purchased one of these from a local dealer-

B & M Camping, near Wellington, Somerset, check out their website,gave us a great deal,our neighbour has also bought a tent from them,excellent people to deal with,

Going away last week of sept to cornwall,will post review of the coleman when we get back,

My giddy aunt floggit:  looks triffic fun but I'd want to be in my Force Ten or Crux Storm for that rather than the Aruba.  The Crux is said to be good up to Force 9 nut i haven't put this to the test?
