Tents..

I'm torn between a Quecha 2 Seconds III, and a Vango Alpha 300...

This is my first Glasto, what do you think is more important: having a porch to store muddy wellies, or being able to pop up and pop down?

The best demo I have found, practise lots before you go so as not to look daft Monday morning!

I have a Eurohike flash mach II. A friend has given me it so no experience. It is popup. Just wondering if anyone knows if it is adequately water-resistant?

That 2" + III is a cool design for mega space yet lightweight. Very tempting.

[halvin]

No you cannot roll them up. They have poles running through them.

In fact the "dock flaps" are the same size as 1 side of the tent and have a long sewn-in pole running around the outside edge to make it ridged. This pole unclips from the side of the flap and is attached to another point on the tent to elivate it.

There is no way to roll it up.

My Base Full has just turned up

I have bought a Vango Alpha 300 for me and my girlfriend and it seemed to be a perfect size when we saw it set up at the camping shop. The next size up would be amazing for a bit more head room.

It might be a useless bit of kit but I also bought an adventure tarp which basically extends the cover from the front of the tent for cooking under/ cooling down in the sun or drinking under in the rain (not gna happen!)

It means the entire tent for 2 of us looks a bit like this now:

Finally got myself a tent, 4 man off of ebay.

Hadn't noticed that to be fair though a few kgs not the most important factor for me
