You got all that for under £100??!! Blimey!!

I was going to post and tentatively ask how much it cost.... was expecting it to be well into the hundreds!

Stunning tent! Sorry if you have already said, but how long did she take to pitch?


It was another Ebay gamble really - the seller had no idea what it was and the pics weren't very good (nor the description). I found the website where it is described after I bought it and got really excited!

I have no idea really how long she took to pitch - the hexagonal frame was a doddle and took minutes - the longest part was sorting the poles initially and getting the finishing off bits done - inner roof lining etc. The good thing about it is you can get the frame up, roof on in next to no time and then you have a shelter for sorting the rest and zipping in the different sides. It took me ages cos I kept changing my mind as to where I was going to have each bit!!


Too much choice, eh?

That is a bargain price even if you only use the hexagonal bit for a garden gazebo!!!

I'd LOVE to be coming to Pillaton but looks like there's too much on that weekend already but  I am working on it. If I did manage to get things sorted this end it would only be me & Ben and I'd have to wait till school had finished - he doesn't get home till 5pm so what with a 3 hour drive on top I'd be bringing something smaller - probably the Calais but as I said - at the moment looks like it's not going to happen
