Where can I see a Nevis 800?  I would like tolook at the floor plan.

I have seen a 600 and it is a great tent.  What I like about it is that the outer shell is made from honeycomb ripstop, which has obvious benefits over the normal materials.

I am kicking myself for prevaricating over the purchase.  They had sold out within a couple of hours.  My missus keeps telling me I am too impulsive, so I erred away and kept my credit card in my pocket,  I should listen to myself a bit more I reckon!

The price was a very reasonable £250, (reduced from £300).  Gaynors want £375.  A bit of a difference!

If anyone knows where I can get one of these at a good price please let me know asap.

By the way, my second choice was the Diablo 600 DLX which was up for £235, (reduced from £400).  But I was informed by the sales chappy that quite often, depending on which campsite you want to go to, they will charge you for a double pitch if you set this one down.  At my favourite in North Wales that means £28 a night with the pooch as against £14.  So the cheap break starts getting expensive from the start!

I am still taken by it but I my preference is for the Nevis 600.  The pitching time is half that of the Diablo too so if there is a threat of rain I know which I would prefer.
