We just got this £199 and a free windbreak thrown in - anyone got one? Hoping we can spend a week in it - there are only four of us so we went for space . Hoping it will stand up to stormy(ish) weather - our little Milletts one was fantastic in bad weather, but too small.

We got ours from Stafford Outdoor Leisure and it was at a tent exhibition so don't know if they do the windbreak on the website.

Right, that Khyam Ontario looks exactly the sort of thing I need for my camping trip in August - me and three under 5s in a tent for 10 days. But - can I hire this kind of tent anywhere? I really don't want to buy it, as I won't be using it again. Or should I buy it and then re-sell it?

Or do any of you lovely MNers have such a tent that I could hire (for proper cash, obviously!!)

ooh i like it

satine · 07/04/2007 20:07

Any of you camping addicts online now? Please?
Or I'll have to start a whole new thread and Cod will be cross...

bonkerz · 07/04/2007 20:23

just bought this one!!

PeachyChocolateEClair · 07/04/2007 20:32

Oh I know somreset camping very well- actually me and Dh met working next door LOL!

Looks llike a good tent, Khyam is a good name. We ahd a vis a vis for a bit, was fine.

Satine- not sure about tent hire (have a look on camping threads- there was a list there). We'd need to know wher you are beforewe could arrange anyone to lend perhaps?

However, first time we went camping we bought a vis a vis from Argos- something like this and you know what? It was fine. Not all singing all dancing like our Tahoma perhaps, but more than adequate- helped convinced anti-tent Dh to become a confirmed addict anyhow!

How about this ? the ratings for this tent are extremely good- no settling for anything but the best with this- and the price, well if a hire charges insurance I can't see would be less in reality? And you could always flog after.
