The brick one is my favourite!

They are expensive, but, have a look at the spec.It would seem that they are not just a novelty, they look really good quality, almost identical to a Vango Force 10 classic. 100% cotton too so if they are made as well as a Force 10, they should last a lifetime.

Thinks its great idea. Good Find!!!!!

Mmmmm, seems I've mis-read that. The flysheet is polyester not cotton

I think they are being quite mis-leading too, just scroll down on this page and you will notice the section about the tent being cotton............................

http://www.fieldcandy.com/customer/features

Then look at the info page. It states clearly the flysheet is polyester. Cheeky beggars!!

Ants do can you imaging how many would be crawling over the tent to what they see. Not blind. The flowers would attract wasps & bees. As I had a yellow blouse and not only did it attract those little midges to it but it was a pollen colour to those flyinfg things that was after pollen.

But I like the men only one, but for a woman it suits me. Suppose a good toilet size for the bottom of the garden. As I am in a wheelie i could roll right inside it.
