Just bought Outwell Vermont XL

[Glitterknickaz]

my dream tent.... squeeeeeee

Got a grant from the family fund and that's it, we have it! That's our camping sorted for the next few years (we couldn't go away last summer as we'd outgrown our Aztec Hawk 5 and couldn't afford to replace).

It's being delivered next week. I'm soooo excited!

Got a bargain too as I got a 2010 model in the sale.

Oooooooooooooooooh

Lovely big tent and a bargain too.

Are you going to put it up when you get it?

I need to do it on a recreation ground really as our garden isn't big enough

So when the weather is better we'll go over to the one near mum.

The outwell website has (or did) have some really good videos for how to pitch each of their tents.

Have fun! Such a good idea to have a practice pitch.

We bought one last year and it was fab,loads of space and v water tight.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO lurvely :D Sadly, I wouldn't dare take dd in a tent and it would be way too big to carry for miles through festival sites One of these days I will get one that I can stand up in, but in the meantime, I should get some use out of the 5 I've got

Mands, for our kids I find it easier to camp, then you don't have to faff with corner covers, socket covers etc in a caravan, hotel room etc. We do the zips up to the top of the bedroom cubicles to stop them escaping and also on the doors. We can adapt our environment to suit if you like. We also have all the gas and knives etc in a utility tent.

I would love one of these for this year!

Hope you dont mind me asking glitterknickaz but where did you buy it and how much was it?

TIA

Does anyone know where i can buy one of these for the price that Glitter paid?....ive looked but can find anything, im not that good on computers though so just thought that some of you might know of somewhere to look that i have not tried

TIA

Lovely tent

Did Familyfund cover the whole £599 cost? Was it 'holiday' money?
Sorry to be nosey, and you don't need to answer

No, they gave me £400 and I had £200 saved. That's the entire family fund grant this year.
