Tent - ative about camping? Don't Be!!

Advantages: Easy to erect, large, simple construction
Disadvantages: Heavy to Carry

...to introduce to you the Lichfield Madrid 5DLX……. SHAPE The Madrid is what is known as a 'tunnel' tent. This basically means that it is tunnel shaped, with an entrance at one end and 2 bedrooms at the other. The front door can be zipped out completely, leaving a gaping mouthed tunnel, or part of it can be rolled back and tied to one side, leaving a smaller, yet still fairly large gaping hole. SIZE The main attraction of this tent to ourselves ...
...is a 5 man deluxe tent so there is plenty of space for a couple. There are 2 bedroom areas, one which we use as the master bedroom that should sleep 3 people, and another that we use as a wardrobe/changing area that sleeps 2 people. Personally I wouldn't recommend that 5 adults go away for any length of time in this tent, unless you were very good friends and regularly slept together in very close quarters. Outside of the bedrooms there is a reasonably ...

Review of Lichfield Madrid 5DLX Tunnel Tent

Massive family tent suitable for all

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 ...

Review of Lichfield 2400 Tent

Brilliant Outwell Vermont L

Advantages: Space, Durability, Comfort
Disadvantages: Weight

In my opinion, this is probably the best Mid to Large tent that you could wish for. Unfortunately, as a previous reviewer wrote, it is rather heavy and although it is easy to erect it does take time as there is an awful lot of pegging down to do. However, once erected, it's like living in a palace, especially when like us, there is only my wife and I. We have weathered some quite severe storms with both wind and rain, where you felt like it was going ...

Review of Outwell Vermont L Tunnel Tent

Quechua Tent

Advantages: Very Easy to put up
Disadvantages: Takes a couple of goes to put it away. Easy once you know how

...easy. I also bought a Quechua blow up bed to use with it, the two together were the perfect match. I can't praise these enough I am yet to find a better make of tent. I recommend these to anyone looking for a quick and easy tent. I have also found a really good website to buy them from. www.quechua-tents.com There were so easy to buy from and I got the tent the next day with no hassle. ...

Review of Quechua 2 Seconds Tents

The Gelert Solo - Stubborn in the best possible manner!

Advantages: Lightweight, Small Pack Size, Durable, Attractive Design
Disadvantages: Small living/ sleeping space; Flysheet not easily secured to inner; Inner-First pitching

The Gelert Solo is a lightweight, 2-skin tent which is great for cyclists or walkers. It is also good for those campers who enjoy the group camping but not the sleeping in a big tent. You can think of this as a, seperate sleeping space once all the festivities have died down. The inner-first construction can be seen as a disadvantage seeing as the inner is almost completly mesh and would get incredibly wet if you were pitching it in adverse weather ...
...apart. But, come morning, my Gelert Solo was in one piece whereas my companions Gelert Mongoose (basically the same tent just a 2-man version) had sustained damage. The groundsheet will keep dampness out from the ground, and although cnodensation is a big issue in winter, in the summer it's not so bad. One unpredicted advantage must be that the mesh inner is a great way to ease you out of a phobia of creepy-crawleys! Knowing they can't get you is ...
