Well after our last expedition to the South of France Mrs B has decided she's too old to get dressed in our trusty Vango Beta 350 which has served admirably.

So it looks like it's time to change.

There are a few parameters however.

Because of the distance it has to fit in a bag and weigh less than 14my we have to fly

It must have a canopy over the door to cope with the Scottish weather when we not in France

It must have mesh on at least one door

Oh and the the reason for changing you must be able to stand up properly.

So far all I can find is the Outwell Rockwell 3 but can't find any reviews anywhere. If anyone has one let me know your thoughts or if anyone has an alternative all suggestions considered.

Cheers
Baddab

PS budget is no more than £500

We've got a Robens Fairbanks plus a lightweight tarp which does the job for us. The tent is 9.1kg. Different sort of set-up but worth considering.

We loved ours and used it for 12 months, until we decided to go full canvas.
Many happy weekends spent in the Rockwell, hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
