Okay, I should have known better. We went camping last week for a few days at Old Oaks in Glastonbury. On the way back we were getting a bit thirsty and decided to stop off for a coffee at Somerset Camping (they have a tea wagon so it's dog friendly)

Of course whilst we were there, why not have quick look round the tent display!

We saw a Sunncamp Oasis 700, lovely tent, SIG, lots of space, good price.

Ended up back there with the credit card this week, and now looking forward to christening it in September.

Next time I'll try Starbucks - it's cheaper in the long run.

Sounds like the kind of thing I would do.

Yes, it was the height that attracted me. Plus it seems a lot more stable than the Colorado 5 which does tend to move around a bit in the wind!

Also fancied the SIG as we tend to camp outside school holidays mostly so do some early and late season camping. It should be warmer and less draughty.
