General comments: I have used this tent on three duke of edinbourgh experditions, as well as a little bit of car camping. It is exstremlley light for its size and can be fitted in to or on a camping rucksack very easly. This is very good value for the money you can buy it for. Even thought this tent has not got the highest quality of fabric on it, it still keeps you dry in pritty much any weather in the uk from to spring to autum. When this tent get wet it is very easy to dry and clean because of its no frills tunnel tent design. This tent has got a very good large portch on it that can fit up to 3 people in, in bad weather as well as all there gear and rucksacks. To put up the tent it is avery easy process involving putting three poles in and pegging it out then putting up the inner. The tent is pitched outer first which is great in a rainstorm at the end of a hard days hiking in the British fells. When i was walking for the first time with this tent it started to rain just before we reached the camp site and i thought oh no its going to be hard putting up the tent in the rain but it wasnt it was one of the easiest tents ive ever put up.
Pros: Value for money,good quality,trusted make, farly light and packs away small
Cons: pegs are a bit rubbish but you can get some to replace them with for around £2 on ebay.

General comments: I bought this tent so my wife and I would have a bit more room especially in bad weather. We originally didn''t use the small sleeping compartment so it just gave us that little bit more room and an extra door in the 'admin' area.
The tent has been used in all sorts of different places and conditions including a heatwave in Newquay, lashing rain in the Peak District and -5 in Stratford. The tent coped admirably with all conditions!!
We then stopped camping for a few years when my daughter was born and when she was 2 we decided to take her out in the tent. The small sleeping compartment was the perfect size for her!
Unfortunately the ground sheets seem to have deteriated quite badly and we now need to use a seperate ground sheet to stop water ingress when pressure is applied. I'm not sure why this has happened - it was stored for two years in my loft whithout use.
Pros: Easy pitching
Good size for 2 - 3 people
Good size admin area
Great value for money
Cons: Deteriation of ground sheets after 4 years ( 2 years of use then 2 years in storage in my loft)
