NOW SOLD.
I am having a clear out of my camping cupboard. As we bought (another) new tent this year, this one has to go. Probably the only one in the UK and no longer available anywhere. Its a great tent form a quality Norwegian manufacturer. I got this in 2016 as a replacement under guarantee when the zips failed on my other Helsport Tent - after 5 years. The company really does stand by the quality of its products.
I need to get it up and cleaned (just wiped down really) so no sale pics just yet but I might be able to find some of it in use. Although spec'd as a 4-man tent its luxury for two with plenty room either side for bags and gear and two reasonable size vestibules for boots, wet gear, stoves etc. The vestibules are a bit too small for sitting in, although the main tent has good head room. Includes a proper made for the tent footprint. Zips etc all work fine. Easy enough to put up by yourself - I always do. Its fee standing although better with 4 pegs. With all the pegs and guying points in use it is stable in all but the strongest of winds. I did have slight weep of water in one of the seams but have since seam-sealed it and it was completely watertight in some torrential thunderstorms in France and Spain last year.
New, these cost around £600 in 2016. I will take £150 posted.
If you google the tent you will most come up with some European retailers, reviews and videos. Use translate feature. Here's the tent on Helsport's website (I had to use google Cache to find it but the english language version seems to have gone).
