I was having a look at Belltentuk's website and see they now sell a 3m bell tent without the central pole. Not looking for a new tent but wondered if anyone had one and what they were like.

We bought one as a pup tent for our adult children ( they've all threatened to come at some point). Only had it up in the garden so far, but looks great. Frame was easy enough but obviously not as easy as one central pole. Will test it properly soon and post a review.
I think we will get one for our kids when they get too old to be snuggling down with us. There are better options, i think you compromise and lose a lot of what makes bell tents so special, but they go so well with the bigger bell tent :)
I've not used a three meter bell tent, but I do use a similar idea with my smaller teepee tent, and having no middle pole makes a vast difference to the usable space. If I was in the market for a 3 mtr bell, then this would be my first choice. It may just be my next tent purchase any way, as I've fancied a small bell tent for a couple of years now. I nearly hit Buy It Now when I saw it
------------- Canvas tent, paraffin light, petrol stove. Heaven
I'd rather be kayaking.
Spent up, not pent up, just had my new tent up.
