We used to have a similar one and it was superb... Survived the Mistral coming in during our holiday in Southern France :y :y :y

It got put up in the back garden as an extended shed in June 2006  ::) ::) :-[ :-[ and has only given up in the last couple of weeks :y :y :y

Well our big Outwell one is 5000hh.. but the camping madman who we saw reckoned that a tent to withstand wind was a big factor, as we found out in Angelsey, the wind was howling and I ain't joking, tents were getting flattened, broken poles but ours just stood it was really impressed but it was dear....

Making sure you have guy ropes out helps loads too!   ;D

It has so many guy ropes it is untrue, plus metal poles... denise didn't sleep for three nights the winds were that strong :-?
I did though, which annoyed her even more  ;D

In which case I don't think like you guys say I can grumble for the money, plus there will be more room than the Barbie tent. The porch thing will come in handy I suppose in making breakfast for us both :y

> Front and rear flysheet vents with covers allows continual airflow enhancing comfort

> Rain gutter zip covers keeps zip dry

> PE waterproof groundsheet 5000HH minimum ensures dry inner tents

> Breathable fabric inners creates a comfortable sleeping area

> Mesh vents on inner allows continual airflow enhancing comfort

> Part mesh on inner door reduces build up of condensation and keeps bugs out

If it actually does all that, a fair tent for event use, I would say.... :)

You can also pitch the fly sheet before the inner tent, great in bad weather. Slept in many Vamgo 'Force Ten's' over the years. :y Even swmbo thinks it sounds good :o

I would recommend Outwells as like I say we have one. I aint sure I would fancy putting it up just for a weekend though.
This is it

Funnily enough....yeah was when i was doing the bike rallies.

One event seriously worse for wear and ended up cutting a slit in side of tent and hanging head out.....woke up in a very cold pile of (it wasnt porridge lets say) much too the amusemnet of a large group of people watching.

Dont think the estate is big enough too fit Loo-knees"s tent in.

The wife did ask could we buy a caravan instead of a tent....two slight problems with that,1st i wouldnt be confident towing and second im skint (ish).

So looks like a modest tent will have too do. :)
