Mystery tents

[Quixoticgeek]

Couple of tents caught my eye while camping in Wales last week.

Can anyone identify what make they are?

The first was next to a French landie that I presume was connected to it.

The second was a Dutch tent, there were two of these on the site.

Any ideas?

The dutch one looks like a cabanon

I saw a few of the dutch type last year on camp sites. I took a note of the name, Its a De Warrd, The one I saw was an Albatros. Very nice tents. Sort of cross between a bell tent and a ridge tent. Not sure about the Teepee tent, theres a few variations of them available.

the Dutch one is a discontinued type which is mostly for hire or sale for youthclubs. Don't have a brand or type, sorry.

First one looks very similar to the Helsport Lavvu's 4-6 rainfjall (or something like that) with the large vents at the bottom, red guy lines and red surround to the patch at the door. As for the second it's not a match but the Cabonon Guadalupe is of a similar style.

First one looks like a Helsport lavvu due to the skirt, red door tie out and the miriad of guy line points.

Hard to make out. ..

The dutch one is of a make called "De Waard". About as heavy as your house, but also about as sturdy! I think this particular model may be the "zilvermeeuw" but I cannot see if it has one or two poles in the back.

Here is a link to their site. They have recently renewed their models, and since the tents easily reach 30 years, it is well possible that this exact one is not on there

Defo a De Waard. They are a very good tent indeed.
