Has anyone seeen the Green Peaks Quick Pitch 2 in 1 Tent?

[NettleEater]

Hi everyone - this is my first post .

I just wondered if anyone has seen this tent at...

http://www.greenoutdoor.co.uk/products.asp?section=32&sectionTitle=Products&productid=10

It is described as... "a super lightweight 2 berth expedition tent. Easy pitch using walking poles, canoe paddles or standard camping poles (not included). 2 in 1 can be pitched as a full tent complete with inner or flysheet only as an ultra lightweight emergency shelter". It is currently selling for £49 ("was £189"!).

Anyway... I bought one. I'm going to try it out for 4 days in early September, while I'm on a bowmaking course, so I'll report back.

I didn't order the optional poles, but they sent me some free anyway. It was the height of this tent that appealed to me: it looks like 2 tipis merged into one and I think it's around 1.5 metres tall. I'll have the car close by, so I'm going to take 2 telescopic aluminium "decorating" poles too.

Fingers crossed...

Hi - can you let me know if it is any good - certainly looks good in the photo on the website. How heavy is it and how big is the pack size? Thanks, Paul

I had their Bush Shelter for a while, I only used it a couple of times in good weather but it was nicely put together. The one thing that was a slight downer was the fact it was only single skin, possibly leading to condensation. The Green Peaks looks to have a separate inner so no problems there, good price too.

Been looking at their other products and the Pyramid 4 Recycled Polyester for £59 looks alright too - found the tech spec on both now (the pyramid is 8kg vs 3.6kg for the Green Peaks in this thread)

Looks like a nice tent........As long as you aren't planning to carry it lol. At 3.2kg its monster heavy for something this size!
