Evening folks,

I am on the lookout for a tent for myself, wife and daughter for summer beach type camping but it must be able to withstand a good old downpour and high winds.

Should have the following.....

One large bedroom compartment that is/can split into 2 doubles

Large social area for chilling indoors, kit storage etc with the option to buy a carpet for it and big enough to put a kayak and a couple of surfboards in at night

Large awning/patio area for socialising

Can be a tunnel tent, not really fussed about having side porches/entrances

Sewn in groundsheet

We used to have a Bear Lake 7 which was ideal but as you all know, expensive. Something similar to the BL7 with a budget of about £150-200 for something new but realistically, a second hand one.

Anyone any ideas? I appreciate there are umpteen threads on this but what's another one ;0)

Cheers, Den

Hi mate,

thanks for the reply, much appreciated. Sounds like just the ticket.

Will have a look on good old fleabay :0)

Hi mate,

thanks for the reply. The kayaks would be a couple of Perception sit ons but when we go away with our touring yaks (Dagger Charlestons) they stay locked on the car roof.

Will have a look at the Kampa, never heard of the brand before but will check the reviews out.

Thanks again, Den
