We got one!

Yes I know its a poor mans version of the bear lake 6 or armadillo or whatever.

But we loved the layout and loved the mocha fabric that makes it feel light and airy.

We have a Vermont xl and I've always thought the interior felt gloomy.

We want this tent for big camps as in 1 or 2 weeks away over summer.

The deal ended yesterday and we actually got an ex display for £300 without the carpet and other bits that we didn't want anyway. So to us its a bargain.

We can't afford £800 + on the best quality like some extoll. (I got my Vermont for £520 which was a real bargain too brand new). This tent is a great layout for us at a great price. Ok so cliff top camping in high winds is probably out but so what. We have 2 boys aged 5&8 and exposed / challenging camps are not for us.

Sadly wont get away in it this year (although it will be up in the garden ASAP!) but about to book for 2014!

How exciting!!!

It's not about how much our tent costs its how much we love it!

We're an Outwell family with three of their tents, Norfolk lake in poly cotton (amazing tent but large and heavy) Nervada M (my weekend tent for the family) and our little Outwell pop up! Love them all equally and it doesn't matter a jot what each one cost!

Make sure you post us a picture and enjoy basking in the new tent glory!

I'm so excited i'm hoping to get away this weekend for 4/5 nights with my 3 kids

I'm a single mum so have practice putting it up in the garden and can do with a lil assists from my 6 yr old!!!

Never thought i'd own a Outwell and don't really care it's the budget range :0)
