We also had a Litchfield Montana 6, bought new from JR Camping at the Don Amott site in Hilton Derbyshire in 1981. The colour scheme was Lime Green, Brown and Beige, ànd it had a kitchen extention on the side with a plastic opening window that rolled up to vent the area for cooking. The frame was spring loaded, and made from a type of alloy, which had some nasty sharp edges renown for cutting your fingers if you managed to trap them as the spring loads clicked into place.
The fabric was canvas, and we kept it for a couple of years until we traded it in for an awning for our first caravan. Had some fun in it as a first tent camping experiance, toured the Uk in a Mini Metro with a trailer on the back, and must have got at least 100 nights out of it during the two years we owned it.
Indeed there was a lack of guy ropes, and a few times when the wind got up we had to battle with its Hang Gliding capabilities whilst packing away hastily and taking it down before heading home early or seeking shelter for the night in my Parents static caravan that they would often hire nearby so that we could holiday together.
Fond memories indeed, l just cannot believe that all happened so long ago now, the Montana would have been 38yrs old this year.
It cost us £179 new, and having just had my 21st Birthday, l paid for it with all the money l had been given me as gifts from my friends and family to mark the occasion.
