my wild country venturi 2 and apollos new little tent at west row campsite milldenhall

milldenhall2013 097 by cycleman108, on Flickr

apollo had the choice of any tent in the sop and picked the smallest he could find . when he got up in the morning i was reminded of a chicken hatching from it's egg

...and yet he still had more room than those caravanners

My tent is on it's way out

The UV has made the fly feel brittle, one of the zips sticks, some stitching has come undone and some drunken oaf** fell on it breaking a pole and putting a tear in the fly. But I can't find anything else that I like as much, it's the way it goes up so easily and tight every time and those huge doors... I shall miss it

** OK it was me

Yes, Solar 2.2. I hadn't seen that Tarptent, I'll have a closer look, thanks. Though the great thing about the solar doors is not just the size but the way they drop to the floor, two zips and the door is wide open, no tying up and wide at the top as well as the bottom, I haven't seen anything else like it.

I'm after a Phoenix Phreeranger EB (Which is fairly similar to the Solar) and was recommended that one.

Agree about the doors, great for venting.

Mind, it's Wunja's picture that makes me really jealous.

I wonder if I'm entitled to any annual leave.

Internally lit tent pics are always evocative.

What do you think of it?

I've been wondering about getting son#1 a tent for xmas, seeing as he's started doing a bit of walking and camping.

iainj837 · « **Reply #419 on:** 21 October, 2013, 08:48:04 pm »

I found it easy to put up and enough room for 1 person and 2 panniers but 2 people would be a bit cramped, IMHO.
I am not sure on it's weight maybe 2.5 to 3kg.

I do recommend it

Bit of overkill for one person to be honest but nice to have a big ground-sheeted porch to sit in and store stuff, could probably fit the bike in at a push. 'Tis a bit heavier and fatter than one would like at 4.8kg

Somehow; this one inspires me as well!

That good ol' Nike phrase ... "Just do it!" comes to mind.

So, now, where's that tent of mine?

antokelly · « **Reply #423 on:** 28 November, 2013, 07:57:09 pm »

just went through 17 pages of tents to see if anyone had one like mine,(i must have bought a pup)
mountain hardware spear gt 2, even tried youtube to find out the best way of pitching it no luck there either.
