As a camping virgin this is the first tent i've owned and must say its absolutely fantastic. I bought it for £269 from Great Outdoors and its the best money I've spent in a while.

It pitches very easily with two people in about 30 mins, getting the pins in can be a little tricky but just get one person to slightly lift the material and problem solved.

We recently camped in the Lake District and the tent withstood all the elements thrown at it and due to the steel poles was very sturdy in the wind.

The living area is very large with ample space for storage, the bedrooms equally are a good size. The front porch area is an added bonus as provides a sheltered cooking area and we also screened it off with two windbreakers to make a secure area for our dog to go off lead.

As on added bonus many of the children at the site commented on our fab/ace tent!
