Hi all,

Am new to all this camping lingo and have been offered the above tent for me and my kids, I have no idea what kind of tent it is all I have been told is that its by Footpath Outdoor Pursuits and it looks like a square tent.

Please does anyone have any info on it or any idea's if its a decent one. They seller wants £80 and I want to make sure I am not being ripped off :(

Thanks you for reading this.

Lesley

Hi there is a thread on this site which refers to a tent by Footpath Outdoor Pursuits. Apparently, they were sold by Makro on their Ebay site. However, I have just checked without any success on Ebay and Makro. So if you did buy it and things went wrong you may have problems repairing or replacing bits should they fail.

I'm really not sure sorry, I think it's probably quite an obscure one. It seems to be quite a risky purchase because you don't know how it's constructed and if it has any basic features. You probably could get a 2010 model Vango Icarus 500 on ebay for the same kind of money in the next few months.

I am having the same problems finding out information, my friend at work recommended i asked on here. They have said it is in good condition but you never know and its just I have been made redundant but booked a camping holiday for August as I had a trailer tent but I had to sell it to make sure I could cover my rent and I have just found out that i cannot cancel the pitch and I would still need to pay for it so hence attempting to buy a tent as a caravan even a cheap one is a bit out of my reach. Might just have to suck it and see as they say and hope I do not waste my money.

Thank you both for taking the time to look

Lesley

DONT TOUCH IT WITH A BARGEPOLE. I owned a similar one to the panorama and went through 3 of them in 2 weeks. Dreadful tents with not enough guy points and VERY leaky. I ended up with a full refund and compensation for my holiday being ruined.    

For 80 quid you'll get something half decent like These
