The tent that's more like a home away form home A BIT OF BACKGROUND TO START WITH: One spring afternoon may other half and I decided to take our first holiday.

Then a few years back, with the girls getting old enough, we decided to try the adventure again and have never looked back, they loved it. Our first trip had been in our old ridge tent but half way through we decided to go for a big dome for more space and finally, after two weeks in France in 2002, decided we needed even more space and bought the Bermudes ...
