They make 8 berth vistas and I can't imagine you'd actually need that much space :) Oh, and if there's a wind and you peg the correct end, it'll put itself up. (and if there's a wind and you unpeg the wrong end, it'll put itself down too....) haven’t you ever watched me putting our vista up on my own then?

Oh, and if there’s a wind and you peg the correct end, it’ll put itself up. (and if there’s a wind and you unpeg the wrong end, it’ll put itself down too….)

Tunnels are just so much easier. I’ve have just been thinking the same thing while putting down our new dome. Tunnels are just so much easier.

Would someone now explain to me why I've been fighting with a dome tent for years when it's so ***** easy to put up a tunnel one????? 4 equal sized poles all easily installed whilst the tent is flat on the ground, peg down one end, good firm tug at the other end and hey presto a tent!! One person, 10 minutes and the basic form was there, just needed pegging down. Do they make cathedral sized tunnels??? I’ve just dashed out between showers and had a trial run putting it up.

Wish it wasn't hurling it down so I could at least get it put up on the garden and hose-pipe test it. To be fair, if it turns out to be a bit average rather than half decent at under £40 it makes a damned good refuge for on all day duties rather than cluttering up the ambi and we'll do a bit more considered research into a better job! I will be fetching the spare guys and eyelets in case we need to storm rig it though!!! have tent now, I’m hoping it will be okay but I guess only time will tell.
