If anyone sees any decent tent offers or wants any advice then feel free to chip in here. 

The off season usually has some good offers about as camping shops are usually desperate to sell that sort of stuff in february !

Were you after anything in particular pooly ?

Always just took a crappy 2 man thing and last few times just shelled out for a bell tent but decided to get something better now the daughter wants to start coming.

No idea on specs or anything but looking for something with a decent sized lobby type area and that will stand up to the Kendal deluge of 2 years ago.

Cheers

I know its got £12 postage but this seems like a really good deal, 2 bedrooms with plenty of space. Being a tunnel tent its easy to put up as theres no pole crossing, just thread through sleeves.

 

Its got a hydrostatic head of 3000 which is decent for kendal. Most cheap tents come with a 1000 to 1500 hh which is basically showerproof and keep your fingers crossed ! 

Not sure how much youre looking to pay but it looks a bargain and there should be no problem getting a good few years out of it

Just bought this tent - thanks for the link

Didn't realise there was so much choice and things to look out for when buying a tent. Will be using it for regular camping as well so don't mind shelling out a bit more for something thats going to do the job and last a while.

Go outdoors normally have some decent offers on if theres one close to you. Plus they normally have loads of tents up so you can have a wander round them and see what size suits you best.
