Just got back from our first outing with our Outwell Indiana 8 - what a great tent, which made a great weekend!

I wouldn't like to put it up single - handedly yet, but took me and OH about an hour from opening the bag to clipping on the bathtub groundsheet. I reckon we will halve that next time round...

Bags of room for all our stuff and did very well against the rain on Sunday night - couldn't find a drip anywhere inside and dried nicely before packing yesterday.

Only 2 gripes, one of the inner anchoring clips was broken on unpacking, and one of the curved roof poles wasn't properly connected (by those fiddly elasticy bits if you know what I mean) rendering it pretty much unuseable - it just popped apart if there was any movement in the tent - not much good in a stiff breeze. So no front porch area. However, the nice people at Yeomans are sorting it out for us before our next trip next week! Naughty Outwell though, expected a slightly better level of QC for a tent at that price...

Thank you to all the UKCS lovely people who were so helpful and friendly when I was agonising over my purchase!
