That's one of the nicest tents I've ever seen. Its just so perfect. I don't mind the dark interior, its great for sleeping (and afternoon snoozes)! Thanks for the pics, enjoyed that!

Beautiful tent, well done on the find.
The dark green colour is ideal for sleeping, which is what you want from a tent really isn't it ... somewhere to sleep. Spend the day out & about and return to your snug, green 'home' to relax.
Might it be a forerunner to the Vango Force 10?
Enjoy the Canvas

Unlike the Force Tens the colour hasn't faded.

With any luck we might be getting hold of an aluminium outer frame for the tent, from a force 10, it will be interesting to see if it fits.

Sorry, I'm not quite with you. Do you mean you're getting two A frames and a ridge pole to replace vertical poles or something?

Have to say Chris that anyone that takes this tent off of you will have a brilliant tent, I can't wait to get away in ours again this year, these tents give you a real sense of security when your all tucked up safe and sound.

We have got a caravan as well as 4 other nylon tents and I can't bear to part with any of it but I must admit that when it comes to being in the wren it really does feel like proper camping, you just cant beat it

I can concur that it's a wonderful tent, mine is an old friend since I bought it in 1978 in the Blacks Shop in Edgbaston, Birmingham. It has seen plenty of use but is still sound. I prefer it to modern tents but these days I do either caravanning or lightweight cycle-camping so I'd like it to go to somebody who will cherish it.
Best wishes from Sheffield
Chris
Hi Chris,
I'd like to give the tent a good home, if it's still available? I'm some way from you, but will come to collect.
Will you please post your email address (then edit the post to delete it again, very quickly)?
Thanks
