I'm looking for a second family tent for 2 adults and 2 children for 1 night or weekend camping. Does anyone have the Ullswater 5 and been in heavy rain?

Hello, my inlaws have one and used it for the first time over the bank holiday weekend.
We were at Diglea near Hunstantion and had some thunder and very heavy rain and this tent stood up well with no leaks, even though the Hydrostatic head is only 1500 it was fine.

Not the same tent but the same make - my friend recently bought the Freedom Trail Airedale 4, and after reading various posts on here I had my doubts about it, but she used it for the first time over last weekend, it stood up to three days of horrendous rain and didn't leak at all even though the HH is only 1500.

Bought my brother the Ullswater 4 as it was so cheap, a lot of people slated freedom trail on reviews however it stood up to torrential rain and high winds. The ground sheet in the living area isnt the best if it is not pitched well however for the money it is a bargain in my opinion.

Glad to hear that Tigermouse i was one of the people who recomended you went to GO when you was looking for a tent for your friend, i know you had your doubts after you bought it i am glad it stood up.
