By: Spideygirl Reason: I own(ed) one Made in: 2007 Rating:  Date: 10/05/2008
We bought this tent originally in 2006, but due to a couple of little problems had it replaced in 2007. So we have used it for 6 trips in all kinds of weather.
We have the found this tent to be excellent quality, the fabric is a breathable polycotton and the poles are made of a light weight alloy. After a couple of practice pitches we can now pitch this tent with in the hour. It goes up really easily and we manage it between the two of us. We do use a footprint ground sheet to protect the inside of the tent as it has a ZIG, The ZIG has very chunky zips and is made of a heavy weight material. So no real need for a footprint other than to keep it dry on the inside while pitching.
The layout is perfect for us, but we do not use the third bedroom. We found when that is fitted it turns into a corridor more than a living space. So when my in-laws join us they are more than happy to sleep in the main living area and store the bedding in the one of the pods during the day. It is great having the separate porch for all the messy stuff and it iholds a lot. The main living area is very cosy on rainy days. The only problem we found with this tent is the sloping front door in bad weather. This tends to flap in when opened bringing lots of wet with you. We got around that by using an Outwell side canopy (the old style) as a front porch. This works really well and allows us to open the door on rainy days.
We have been through all weathers with this tent and it did not budge. We had strong winds, rain and even hale stones!
So to conclude I would not change anything about this tent, we love the style, quality and layout.

Manufacturer's Description
The manufacturer has advised that this model has been discontinued.
With sleeping accommodation for up to 8 persons in its 3 + 3 inner tents across one end, plus a
removable 2-berth inner, the amazing Norfolk Lake makes a truly spacious holiday home. The full
zip-out groundsheet provides maximum protection from the elements, insects and floor draughts in
the enclosed bedroom and living area, and helps make housekeeping a cinch. The Norfolk is easy to
pitch, uses aluminium poles throughout, and remains stable in adverse conditions. Other strong selling points include the detachable groundsheet in the front living area, the large front door that doubles as a canopy, the additional half-opening entrance, and a wide range of sophisticated and carefully crafted Outwell details. Norfolk Lake is a wise choice for a large family that wants reliable quality and comfort.
