hello all does any one know what the freedom trail Eskdaletent is like as my sister in law is looking to buy one any help on this would be good     this

thanks

As with most others I would not spend my money on this unless I knew it was

      a) for a one off camp and

      b) the weather forecast was perfectly warm and dry. 

You would be much better off spending your £100 on a decent second hand tent.

Sorry to be negative, but avoid this tent.

A friend of mine got the smaller Airedale last year as a cheap re-introduction to camping after several years of illness. On first use it stood up to four days of almost continuous heavy rain and in spite of the waterproof quality being so low compared to other makes it didn't leak once. She has used it a couple of times since and it's been fine. The only thing I personally didn't like about it was the separate groundsheet in the living area, I would always go for a sewn-in one.
