This was done a few months back but I can't find the thread.
Any recommendations for a tent for two adults and a couple of kids that would survive more than just a completely still night in the middle of June?
Cheers
Haven't tried them all, but would give a strong recommendation for the Wild Country Kamsin. Really strong, can be back-packed, super-strong poles and is rated at 3-4 seasons, so will even cope with a Scottish summer...;)
Cheers folks.
Winterhill one night next week potentially Gav?
Yup, that's a good plan. Could be a bit of a funny week though, as I'm starting a new job, but provisionally could do Tues/Weds.
Not really that small but I can highly reccomend this tent , it's been fantastic in all weathers including very high winds. We paid more than double what it's on fleabay for.
The clue is in the name...
Force Ten
(do they even sell them any more?)
We have Robens Cabin 500 - lovely tent - worth it for the bronze anodised poles, IMO.
My vango tigris has just stood upto some awful weather this weekend, i'm more than happy with it.
Again, not [i]that[/i] small...but this has steel poles instead of the bendy ones.

I couldn't recommend [url=www.breakoutdoors.co.uk]www.breakoutdoors.co.uk[/url] enough. They have been superb, fantastic customer service and very cheap.
All good stuff, thanks.
I like the canvas bell tent! very retro with some soul!
Ive a 5m version of that bell tent. Complete with wood burner, and I can confirm it stands up well to gale force winds. Gusts seem to just deflect around the centre pole, its remained sturdy and upright when many neigbouring tents collapsed/shredded
