Big Pack Quattrolite 4-5 person

Advantages: small and therefore warm, light, easy to put ip
Disadvantages: little headroom, not good in extreme cold

...A very good tent indeed. I have used this tent on many 2,3,4 and 5 day trips and it has prooved very good. It is easy to assemble with only 2 poles and can easily be done by one person in only 3-4 minutes. I have also put mine up in gale fore winds with driving rain at 2 in the morning on Dartmoor. It is also very spacious and when hiking it is perfect for 2 people and all their kit. I was also pleasantly surprised by the fact that the tent does not create much condensation, in fact very little and the numerous inside pockets and twin vestibule areas are very useful for essential kit and cookin, respectively.

Advantages: Massive tent, bags of room, easily packed away, doesn't take up much room in the car
Disadvantages: Freezing in winter time, obviously

...This is an excellent family tent that sleeps 4-5 people, maybe even 4 adults with a couple of kids. Very simple to erect and to dissasemble and pack away. It doesn't take up much room in the car which is a bonus. Light, airy, bags of room, and is much more convienient than a trailer tent ot caravan as you can just pack some supplies and throw it in the boot. Don't forget a nice thermal sleeping bag if you are camping outside the summer months. If you are going camping to Scotland in the summer months you may wish to pack the thermal sleeping bag just incase. If you are planing a visit to Scotland try Blair Atholl Caravan Park near Pilochry in Perthshire, we have been visiting it for over 15 years and it is a nice quiet and relaxing site.... Read review

The personal program is based on questionnaires and an interview session they do with you to find out your goals and what will motivate you. Personally this is my... Read review
