OK, I have narrowed it down to these two. The nemesis only has 2 reviews here (both positive) while the horizon has 46. Also the nemesis works out about £30 cheaper (I am over in ireland and a lot of the UK suppliers wont send to here) 

Anyway, which should i go for ? There will be 2 adults and 1 or 2 kids. Only used for camping in ireland and UK so weather resistance probably the most important consideration.

The Horizon is Slightly bigger and even then its only by about 20cm, but it might just be the difference you need to fit 3 of you comfortably in the sleeping areas. I'd go for that if I were you. It also has options like porches to give a bit more space if needed.


I dont know if you've seen this one yet, but it might be worth taking a glance at too.

Im a big fan of Gelert tents. Very well made and reliable

Ended up getting the horizon from Amazon as they dropped their price by £20 and offered free delivery to Ireland.

Did a Test-Pitch last Sunday (promised 3/4 hours of dry weather) and went very well.

1/2 hour up and 1/2 hour down and thanks to my wife's input managed to fit it all back into it's bag.

Dont forget to leave a review when you get round to using it in anger

Everything has been said before, but since nobody ever listens we have to keep going back and saying it all over again and again and again
