My new Gelert Ottawa 6 arrived today, only ordered it Sunday evening and a bargin at the princely sum of £99 + £3.99 p+p. The cheapest I've seen it elsewhere on the web is £289.99.

If anyone else fancies a punt, here's the link:

Cool!   Nice size, nice colour, Gelert have been around long enough and that is semi geodisic, if I'm not mistaken. VERY nice tent!

The Ottowa (or Gobi HiGear-equivalent) is a good tent and very stable for its size, but despite the fact that it has five nodes I'd hesitate to call it a full geodesic. It is, in effect, a two-pole tunnel tent with a couple of diagonal brace poles. I'd call it a semi!!

Nice looking tent at a great price!

Seems you can get a porch to go with it as well.
