I've just gone and bought this tent for myself and two children (10 and 7) but am beginning to wonder whether I will be able to put it up on my own or with a little help from the children?  I can manage my Khyam Yale alone and I'm only 5' 1"! - is it any harder?

Any views gratefully received!

Don't panic its very easy. All poles are the same length, slide all these through the flysheet first and put them under tension to create the 'hoops' before any pegging. Then use the front and rear guylines to bring the tent upright and peg the base out. One big tip though make sure the doors are open when putting up or folding away as this tent has a full SIG and you need to let the air in and out (But close the doors while pegging). I would say it should be easier than your Yale!
