... is the best starting tent. It is usually around £80 and it really is value for money. I cant even count the number of times mine has been used. and it is still going strong apart from the wear and tear of 3 rouge children and 2 dogs. Dont get me wrong there are far better tents on the market but for the money it really is a good tent. With practice it can be put up on your own. Im only 5ft 2 and managed it with 2 little ones many times. Its good aswell for a family tent for popping off for weekends. Room enough ...more

I love this tent. I bought mine about 5 years ago and it has taken some hammer. It has been in some heavy storms in wales, extreme winds in bridlington and has always kept us sheltered and dry.

I mean, it's not all about work, work, work... Am I right? Enter our solution... camping. Once the idea popped into our minds, it was hard to shrug off.

It was only ever intended for use by two of us (my wife and myself) and our dog, but we wanted a bit of room to get dressed in and store stuff and most importantly we wanted to be able to stand up it.
