They would probably be Outwell Montanas.
Having splashed the cash today, I'm looking forward to a good nights sleep, whatever the Pembrokeshire weather can throw at us 🙂

Now, is it worth buying the extension?....

Edit: Fixed for the good Captain
Edit 2: Grrrrr

Is it one of those flipping huge might as well have brought your whole house along it's almost as big type ones?

I remember when camping was all about a little lightweight tent and sleeping bayg. Now, it's all airbeds and duvets and cupboards and multi-ring cookers and everything. Sybarites...

Carlsberg is utter pish. Is your tent pish as well?

(Edited due to Geoff's edit then Flashy's edit)

Hmm, still want a fight though...

Oi, Flashy! Outside. Now.

Always i reckon. Don't have an Outwell tent, we have a Vango 500 and we found the main door was a pain in the wet as it has to be securely pegged down or it lets water in. Bought an extension/canopy thing and its been a revelation - chairs and table can now be outside in the canopy giving us oodles of space. Love camping now, we can fit the tent, canopy, bedding, kitchen unit/larder, 2 chairs+table, personal kit, bike kit and two bikes into and onto a Ford Ka!

Oh yes! Room for brekkie in luxury, even if it is blowing a hoolie.

Duvel? Poncy.

(Poor Geoff despairs as he tries to find a beer that will appeal to everyone...)

Muddy - I looked at a couple of Vangos and nearly bought one, but the complete tub groundsheet of the Montana sealed the deal for the reasons you mention.

IainC - we got the actual Vango 500 canopy (2010 version) from Springfield Camping near Halifax for £50 - should have been £100.
We really like the tent, although this weekend we noticed that one of the carbon pole sections had de-laminated, so we need another collapsible pole thing. That could well be my ham-fisted way of erecting it though.

Leffe Radish! Lovely stuff that.

It is actually made from radishes. It's true.

If Carlsberg made tents ... they'd export the duff ones to the UK so we can keep the good stuff here in Denmark 🙂
