The more than ample ground sheet fits over the large inwards facing mud flaps, so no air gaps.

Canvas tent, paraffin light, petrol stove. Heaven
I'd rather be kayaking.
Spent up, not pent up, just had my new tent up.

I was reading through some old posts on the Soulpad and I think it may have been you that have adapted the groundsheet and added in extra eyelets and adapted the A frame door?

Wow what a great price!

We recently attended a VERY chilled out wedding which turned into a mini festival and quite a few guests camped in bell tents or yurts.

We've just bought an Outwell Monty but I want one of these for festivals. Just got to convince my missus. (She still can't see why I need four bicycles. I usually cite her handbag collection as part of my argument, touché!)

I s'pose I could offer to flog one of my bikes (or one of my motor bikes) *cough*.....

Ah well, you can't have it all can you? Where would you put it?

Well i have just had her out of the bag... bit of a feet really. Looks in perfect condition that I can see but will need to pitch her to make sure. i am in love with her,

I struggled to get her back in the bag due to the limited amount of space being indoors.

She needs a name and new guy ropes, orange are just nasty!! She is hopefully going to have a purple inner and be purple/green so I can use the same stuff as i use in my other tent.

Oh and I have no idea where to hide her, so may just text DH while he is out and tell him.... or not

I fold mine up in half moon shape, then quarter, until a thin triangle shape then fold this into three. Neat fat bundle :o) Hope that helps someone!

Or keep the pole bag separate so there's plenty of room to get the canvas back in the bag. Difficult to fold up a tent indoors though.
