This outstanding tent is quick and easy to set up with an all-in-one hub-and-swivel pole design that is strong and simple to use. A good 3 Season tent made with durable materials that boasts 2 porches/entrances that provides independent access and storage for two people. It comes complete with a "gear loft".

I have used this tent for a two week trip only and it is in immaculate condition.


It comes complete with a ground sheet protector which would normally cost approximately £50.



The tent cost me about £400



I am selling as my wife is not particularly enthusiastic about camping and a two-person tent is no longer required. I am in the market for a solo tent!

Please contact me if you have any questions!

Dear Geordiepie.

Many thanks for including that link on my for sale post. Presumably you are not interested in the item I have for sale.

The tent for sale at Hill and Dale does appear to be an absolute bargain and is certainly much cheaper than the price I paid for mine!

You might not have realised but the Hill and Dale tent is a lighter weight version of the one I am selling. You will see from their photo that the inner tent is almost entirely mesh, which is not particularly suited to the British climate (you will be bloody frozen whenever there is a slight breeze).

My tent is the heavier weight version with much less mesh on the inner tent (but still plenty to provide good ventilation).

The Hill and Dale tent does not include a groundsheet protector, although I see they are selling them for £30, making the complete package £273

That being said, there is clearly a large difference in prize and to acknowledge this I would be prepared to consider sensible offers.

Kind regards

Jim

Hi....yep didn't realise it was the HP version you were advertising. I have the HP version and clicked on your post as I'm keeping an eye out for a replacement fly...previous link removed for you

In reply to jameshiggins:

Just to clarify, the tent mentioned above which is for sale at Hill and Dale Hill is the lightweight Hubba Hubba. They also sell the same version as mine (Hubba Hubba HP) for £340 reduced from £420(excluding groundsheet protector).

Did you have warranty?

In reply to Koper:

There is no specific warranty but I suspect MSR offer a warranty regardless of whether the tent has been registered with them.

In reply to jameshiggins:

In spite of the attempted sabotage of your sale! Glad to hear it - whoever bought a Hubba Hubba HP will be well pleased.

In reply to geordiepie:

Hello, forgive me butting in on your post but i could not help noticing the fact that you are on the lookout for a replacement Hubba Hubba HP flysheet .
I have one that you may be interested in - it was damaged but has now been repaired successfully using some flexible waterproof glue .
To cut a long story short while i was cycle touring in Norway during packing the tent away it blew away , ended up in the sea and was fished out by some fishermen , but the fly was torn in 3 places .
A local ships chandler sold me some glue for repairing sails and it worked and is fully watertight again .
I have since purchased the last replacement flysheet that first ascent could get to replace it but the repaired one is just sitting in my gear shed , so if its any good to you let me know -
Regards
Ian
