Hi guys,
We have our 2011 Icarus 500 for weekend tenting in Scotland, nice wee tent TBH.
We are going to trek to France next year for possibly 3 weeks in late June. We've not decided where we are going, but seeing as we're making the effort to cross the channel I fancy finding the sunshine!
Now, we will need a new tent for a longer holiday and something that will deal well with (hopefully) warmer climates! We are a family of 4 and have a dog, so something with enough space to accommodate us all..budget, not sure, just see what takes our fancy from the suggestions..
Thanks in advance :-D
Are you planning on travelling around or staying in one place?
Don't forget to leave a review of all tents you've used, for a chance to win fantastic prizes

To be honest maybe a week the Loire and another week around Paris, so 2 camps. I am going to Glasgow at the weekend so I will pop into go outdoors to see what they have erected, then I can get a good look at pack sizes etc..
Thanks for the input guys..
