Congratulations, Robin! Must have been your destiny :-)

Vaude Mk II. Comes in separate tent and peg and pole pags so one of you can carry tent and fly and other poles and pegs. It pitches fast and easily, inner and outer together so that you will be comfy even if you have to pitch in the pouring rain or driven snow. It's stable in all weathers, has...

I was an early member back in the seventies and they were a great bunch. It's not been possible to get away with others for me due to family commitments for some years, but I'm very tempted to rejoin.....

Thanks. That's what I wanted to know. Cheers Mike

Richard, how does the nest work with condensation? Is it the same as the inner tent on other nylon tents or is it really only for insect protection? MTIA Mike

I was going to reply " who hasn't?" until I read your post..... :-) Wow! Get well soon! Great advice there from Robin. Cheers Mike

I have a coupl of pairs of Altberg motorbike books and would also highly recommend the company. FWIW Mike

How do you find the soulpad? They do their own chimney add-ons now. Might be worth a look at their website. Cheers Mike

Well I have more good news about this Norse saga (sorry, couldn't resist the pun). I finally hooked up with the people at Nordic Outdoor and have now seen the latest Safirs.... Conclusion: they're brilliant - definitely back up to their previous standards and beyond. The stitching quality...

You're better of not dry cleaning anyway, since it will wash all the oils out and shorten the life of your bag. Get some down soap and wash your bag carefully in the bath. Clean like treading grapes and tread all the water out of it and leave it to drain for while when its been rinsed...

Can you cite the sources of any of these many accounts? That's not a rhetorical question. I'd like to know. Mike B

Carrog, have you tried contacting Tentipi direct or talking to Caspar at Nordic Outdoor? I have yet to get the specific problems with my own Safir 9 sorted, but have been in extensive contact with Tentipi and came here to post this update: I thought it would be helpful to provide a little...

I've got one. It's a handy all-rounder and goes very well with with a Kelly/Storm/Bush kettle. But if you hate combo blades, well.... it;s got one :-) Cheers Mike

I finally received a short reply from Tentipi yesterday after my two-month delay. The valance material has been corrected on new ones, so those who have made a Happy New Year purchase should be fine. The same goes for the plastic rings. The question is how Tentipi will be treating those of us...

I have a day of tidying up in preparation for the arrival of my sister's family for the new year. As soon as all the festivities are over I'll pull the Safir out of the attic and take pics. Tentipi have had a number of problems in recent years and it's my opinion that once production moved from...

Sorry to have to contradict this because I love the design of the Tentipi tents, but I've got a Safir 9 which is of very inferior quality to previous models (also have a Varrie 5). Before buying, check very carefully what nylon valance material and canvas material it has. The nylon valance...

I tour on a big Harley now, so used the overpriced stuff that comes with it, except for a Buffalo tank bag, whcih was the right sort of size to leave the speedo unobscured (they;re tank-mounted). In the past I sued Oxford panniers on a Low Rider and they were fine. The Metal Mule panniers...

I've also received very good spares repairs for my Vaude Mk II. The certainly stand by their products and customers. Cheers Mike

I'm also interested.... :-)

Even if you do get an inner, remember that there will be the zips in the floor and the little "hole" in the middle where the pole goes. That's to say if you're totally paranoid you may feel worried that you can't seal the thing up completely. I've not found much of a problem with flying...
