This tent is now sold. Thanks.

I have decided to sell my Wild Country Citadel 5 tent. Purchased in the spring of 2013 it has seen two weeks use on clean commercial camp sites which is not nearly enough.

Before purchasing this tent I did a ton of research and it all pointed to this being one of the strongest family tents around and you can really feel it. Everything is overkill from the poles to the seams and the thickest tent floor I have seen, it is just brilliant. The design has a vertical front which makes for very easy and dry entry and exit and the giant living area is great for relaxing with family.

Here is a link to the manufacturers site for the tent

Here are a bunch of user reviews

Here are videos of the 9 month trial in the peak district

The video's of the testing really sold me on the tent, watching it just soak up weather I have seen destroy lesser tents really sold it to me.

Anyway, I think someone should get some use out of it. Everything is there and everything is in perfect condition. I am including upgraded pegs in a case with the sale, they go into any ground and hold firm. Wild Country sell a footprint and temperature moderator separately but as I have only used it on level, well drained commercial camp sites I didn't bother with them.

This is a BIG tent and will need to be collected from Harrow, NW London or I could meet somewhere locally if convenient.

I'm after £275 which is a crazy price but i'm not using it so it is already of limited value to me.

I'm happy to answer any questions.

Cheers,
Joe.
