Quote: Originally posted by Benno1uk on 31/1/2013 Thank you youlbury for the original post. I was umming and arring which tent to get (was initially looking at a Gelert Horizon but they seem to get mixed reviews re splitting poles) so when I saw your post and read a couple of reviews of the Vango Calisto 600 I thought it sounded good - so I bought one (Surf Blue).
I am new to camping but me and the family (wife and 2 boys, 6 and 4) are looking to try it out in Norfolk over May half term.
I haven't bought anything else yet - just the tent - I wasn't sure if the front canopy was necessary or not - it seems to make the tent enormous! (Any advice welcome!)
Thanks again.
Happy to help..they have sold out now and congratualtions on your new tent , it will appear enormous but the canopy will realy make the tent.....wait until it rains, you can get all your gear out in the canopy, chairs tables etc.
You can buy the canopy for under £99.99 on ebay, heres a link... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vango-Calisto-600-Front-Canopy-2012-Model-Surf-Blue-/170843737312?pt=UK_SportsLeisure_HikingCamping_Tents_JN&hash=item27c7148ce0&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&siteid=3&campid=5339172918&customid=&toolid=10001&mkevt=1 This is where I bought mine from, the seller has a great rep on ebay and on this forum. If you do not fancy the idea I would go for the footprint at yeomans (link above)and you will be set.
