not a fair weather camper - love camping and walking in wind and rain - prefer something that can handle wind - in yorkshire dales last summer and our fibre glass pole tent was collapsing inwards. this was reason we opted for the montana 6p - heavy but rigid.

If you were fancying the Birdland 3, this would be a better and cheaper bet Birdland 4 as spotted by JacktheLad
But I don't suppose it will stay at £180 for long

Jukie you are right the birdland 4 is a good buy and will go quick I put a link up to the robens twilight dreamer also which at a £180 was another good buy,I just looked at the blacks website and this tent is now back up to £350 again,their pricing seems to be all over the place and when the bargains come you need to jump,this is the reason I post them up whenever I see them to allow true campers a true bargain.

We have just bought a vango zeal 500 from amazon for £70 for weekends just the two of us and dog. Standing height but no separate bedroom /living bit but doesn't bother us as there is a porch and you could buy a canopy but they are nearly same price.
