In reply to chris tan: Interesting review. I have seen many recomendations for this tent but no accompanying personal experience.
A couple of questions,
Is the inner mesh midge proof or sized for mozzies?
You say that the porch is big enough to cook in? on the pic it looks really small. I wondered when looking at the pic whether it would be possible to unclip the inner extension and fold it back leaving the main pole held by the shape of the flysheet, at least in moderate wind conditions?
Also the square shaped poles must create a flat roof with only a shallow slope to the foot of the tent. This would seem to potentially allow rain to seap through instead of running of or for condensation to collect and drip, did you have any such problems?
thanks

ps I agree with the inner pitching first complaints but unfortunately there are few alternatives and none for £30! Usually when I rant on this point I get labelled a curmudgeonly old git who doesn't know what he is talking about. Glad to see someone who agrees with me.
