ooohhhh Val, that would be great. I'll have to run it by the OH (he has a pop up aversion lol) but if someone shows him how to pack it away he'll be happy. Want one for the IOW so that would be perfect. Seeing yours at Pillaton its definetly the way to go. Whats the pack size like?
We've decided to stick with canvas tents only (except kitchen tent) so bringing the Barbados to IOW plus the lovely cotton tarp we bought off jimjam(Karsten dealer at Pillaton). Going to sell the Nevada M and extension in April/May as despite it having more space than the Barbados I cant bring myself to use it as love canvas so much more.
Happy to show him how to pack it! (not hard honest)
Pack size is here ( Flat disc that is 85cm in diameter and 10 cm thick)

Big round circle but pretty thin!
Let me know before May anyway, no problem for me to throw in top of the trailer and I'm happy to keep it if you don't need it! (wahhhhh not like losing another tent)
If you do want it bring a 5m square piece of tarp as a groundsheet (there is a proper groundsheet if you can find one on ebay etc think it sells for £9.95?) or your kitchen stuff gets muddy on the bottom!
(thinking about it now, not sure if i picked up a spare groundsheet as well, will check at home )
yes sell all them horrid poly tents!
