Hi it would seem to be a common problem!!! Ours did it on our last camping trip, exactly the same tent and place! Will try the tape mentioned. Thanks.
It certainly does seem to be a design fault doesn't it if three of us have been affected in exactly the same way, wonder if it's worth contacting them, mind you, that said, I did contact them when ours went last year and I'm still awaiting a reply! The Tear Aid #2 is brilliant gillybobs and I think the answer is to apply small strips rather than adding one big piece. We're away again from next Friday so will see if it's all still held.
Val, can appreciate the strength of your method, but i'm no sewer, even of the simplest things and my repair is practically invisible, you wouldn't know it was there unless it was pointed out to you. AND I have a bit of an aversion to duct tape, that horrible stickiness that comes with it!

I actually "wowed" when I saw TraceyD's Fforest Fields pics.
It's a very impressive looking tent, imo.
Now I've twigged it's the same tent as has now been mentioned 3 times in here, that "wowiness" has certainly wavered!! 
This is not something minor, in my book, and is plainly obvious that the problem isn't caused by some clumsy user, so I think Gelert need to start coming up with some answers.
Being able to mend it oneself, with some tape, is fine, in a one-off "unlucky" situation, but folk should really be taking this a step further, imo. It's clear there's a problem, and a serious one at that. Time to start looking at refunds, I'd have thought...... not that it's any of my business, as I don't own one!!
Just sayin', like!
