Hi SJP, I bought it from here Vestibule

Though they had none online I phoned the Farnham branch and had one in stock, cost me £99

We too  have just returned from 3 weeks in France with our Filey Classic.

some points we learned.

This is a fantastic tent survived the storm /mini hurricane (would have done really well if my hubby had actually putin more than 6 pegs)

Any tent gets hot in 35 plus .

When the weather is so good you spend very little time in the tent and so could have managed with a smaller tent for the 3 of us.

Although the carpet looks cheaper than Outwell ones we have had it did not slip around our tent and when we ate in the tent  on the one occastion as there was a storm raging outside we found out to our delight, that when red wine is spilt on the carpet it seemed water /wine proof and we were able to mop it up without it leaving any trace.

We could not find any where to hang a light up in the bedroom pod .but improvised with a bungie and cord. we had not pre soaked the tent ,but it did not lee kand was definatley proofed by the heavy rain.

usiung a small ground sheet under wardrobe area wopuld have aided packing as had to let mud dry off before packing.altough it did not take long in the heat.

we were supposed to vacate our pitch by11am ,but due to allowing canvas to dry left at 12miday.may consider taking a small overnight tent to allow packing the evening before.

All in all this is a great tent.

Thanks  Mucker. I think we did use one of those ringsto put the bungie through.

The pitch that we had was one that came with own loo,fridge.kitchen sink etc so the owners like to clean them and cut the grass ready for the next booking. Maybe other sites allow you to leave  later.As thereis such a long distance to cover I would have prefered an earlier start.

I am sure you will have a fab time in France with big Brenda.
