Looking at some tents


I spent the afternoon pitching, looking at and thinking about some new backpacking tents in preparation for a review that'll appear in The Great Outdoors in a few months. It's always interesting trying several at a time and seeing how they compare in design, space and ease of pitching. Now I'll leave them up for a few days and see how they deal with the weather. It's raining tonight.

    1. Looks a bit like the Karrimor Marathon Mk II from the 1970s.

      ah well, i must admit although i liked my hubba hubba when it first came out ten years ago it did fall apart on a four month trip in NZ after buying it.
