Sorry BULLY1 clearly didn't read your post properly.  Yes it looks to be a good one, just £300 quite a lot of money in general sure its still cheap for a tent.  Anyone any ideas if go outdoors do many sales, missed this saturdays offer of 20% off....

Go outdoors have the Zenobia 6 currently on offer for £199 which is a good price ,they always have deals on
I would personally go for an 8 man tean to give you more space,if the weather is rubbish

Thanks everyone for your advice, 8 man tent it is.  May wait until autumn and possible deals come on and build up my camping gear slowly until next Summer....

Plenty of reviews kicking around online. Good luck with whatever you end up with though.
