I meant to thank whoever it was on here (I think it was the review section) that mentioned tapeing up the tensioning poles' pop out lugs to avoid catching/ripping the webbing on the sleeves.
I used insulation tape and it worked a treat, the poles slid straight through and came back out again with absolutely no resistance or damage.
What a lovely tent... You'll enjoy it madly I'm sure... I'm sat in the awning of our BL as I type in a field in rural Devon... Bliss.... The sun (and the temperature) have both dropped and my scrumpy is running low so I think I'll be retiring shortly... Great tent... Enjoy!

So....what will you be buying for the quick-pitch weekend tent?
Ahhaaa, it's funny you should say that. While we already have a Vango Delta 300 which we would use for planned short stays, I did think it might be a good idea to have a cheap'n'cheerful "pop-up" style tent in case we got to a site and it was chucking it down.
We could sleep the night in the pop-up and then put Wolfy up the next day.
Don't forget to leave a review of all tents you've used, for a chance to win fantastic prizes
A Delta would go up nearly as fast as a pop-up and has the advantage of a bell-end. I was more thinking of something like the ever trusty Vango Venture, which I see on another thread is going to be reduced to £59.99 over the first week in June. Great tent for a couple of nights.
To be honest the Wolfy is a lot easier to put up than I anticipated so I don't see the need.
Admitedly I wouldn't put it up for 1 night but 2 nights and up would be fine. Therefore, Wolfy + Delta 300 should be all we ever need.
If anybody comes across a tent that you can just lob out of the car windows in the pouring rain and it automatically lays a groundsheet, pops into shape, pegs itself out and puts the kettle on then let me know.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
