on a rare, very rare, in fact 1st of the year day in Ardrossan where it had been dry and not blowing a gale ctually it is lovely for a change I got the lichfield apache 3+ garden pitched

good wee tent will be great for weekends, plenty of space in the inner, okay it isnt a 3 man more like a 2 man, inner 1st could be a pain but it piches so fast it wont have a chance to get wet, good storage with the twin porches. very stable considering I hadnt guyed the thing or attached the fly to inner ties

only gripe is no porch groundsheets but I will get a tarp that will cover under the inner and the porches as well. a bargain too at the vango sale in november only £25

actually felt like leaving it up and sleeping in it tonight but forecast is rain and getting breezy

Congratulations Alan! Been a beautiful day down here in South Northamptonshire but no time for playing with the tent.

we pitched our tent today. Went well, not as quick as khyam suggest but then when your hubby refuses to read instructions what can you expect! It pitched twice as quick as our old tent though. So should be great with a bit of practice.

Jacquie you should know by now that men never read instructions - they always think they know it all
