My tent-geek circuits are bursting to fire... I can't resist...

That tadpole 23 looks solid as a rock. I really do like the look of semi-geodesic, though I plumped for flysheet firstness with a Vango Helium.

I threw 200 quid at a Terra nova laser competition, best tent i own and i have a few. ; )
Let me know if you decide on barn farm, i could be your guide to the area for an afternoon if you'd like one.

Yes, I would see these kind of tents at the caravan site in Alston. Eighty nine guy ropes and not one of them set properly. I'd be taking a shortcut diagonally through the site and they'd never see me. Just get a Gelert. Designed in Wales, made in China, what could be worse than that? If it gets to galeforce they blow flat but, with a van, it doesn't really matter.
