Hi,

Just tested my Horizon 8 in the back garden before heading off to use it for real tomorrow. One quick question - the 2 small square flaps inside on the floor of the fly sheet - are these for pegging down the internal pods?

Thanks in advance.

We have the horizon 8 and use one of the flaps for securing the two smaller pods. I think they are for circulation and if you have the footprint you will find they line up to the holes in that too.

We have just returned from Loch Lomond with our tent and had a great time. It is a brilliant tent and very spacious.

Enjoy your holiday!!!

Yes she is growing into a good dog now, but was called "the turd-monkey" when she was a young pup you can come to your own conclusions about that!
