Hello smashing 69. Having read your artical on the Tarp tent .
Especially the Tarp tent scarp 1. As I have already posted an enquiry about this tent .
I see you have one . would you mind If I asked you about it .
" Sorry Victoria1 If I am bypassing you" .
Q) " How much did you pay for the Tarp tent Scarp 1.
Q Did you purchase It In England . Q) how much did It cost . Q) Is It as good as It looks . Q) Is It as spacious as advertised . The reason I have asked Is I am going cycle touring and camping out . And this Is just over a 1Kg tent ..Ideal lightweight cycle tent !
Apologies for all the Questions .
Q) Have you camped out In It In bad conditions I.E heavy rain high winds.
Cheers
The tarptent can only be purchased direct from Henry Shires - the maker. It cost about GBP240 but is vry much dependent on exchange rates.
Have been out in some inclement weather but nothing too bad - did seal the seams straight after I got it.
Not sure what article you have read as I haven't wriiten anything myself... it is a very good tent but the brand new Terra Novas do take weight to a whole new level - belive they now have a 1 man tent at just over 0.5kg.
