What a fantastic tent! We have mastered the art of getting the tent back into the bag, but the final zipping up of the bag is still an issue. Not sure if anyone else is having problems with this, or if our bag is faulty. Any advise would be welcomed.

Don't forget to leave a review of all tents you've used, for a chance to win fantastic prizes

New! Please upload a photo of your tent to the Tent Showcase!

Hi Snaz

The poles take a lot of bending. It takes two of us and at the last minute when you think the zip cannot possibly go any further literally bounce your full body weight on it while the other person pulls the zip. It's too tight, but will actually do up like this.

Happy Camping!

I hope this is a good tent, the missus has just bought one. Apparently only £40.00 at GoOutdoors (with card) - Oxford branch. Can't see it on their website. But seems to have good reviews and looks ideal for a weekend one.
