Big Agnes Fly Creek UL2
« on: August 09, 2011 »

Having spent a long time reading reviews in my search for a lightweight tent that I could use to backpack round Australia and New Zealand but that would also work in our hills I eventually decided on a Big Agnes Fly Creek UL2.  It's not a brand that's very familiar to those of us on this side of the Atlantic, but it keeps winning award after award.  So with a bit of wrangling I managed to get a 2-man (or 1-woman and her rucksack) tent for less than £200 delivered from America and it weighs in at a fantastic 1.2kg.  Hopefully it's as good as I hope, will post some reviews once I get to put it through it's paces.

Hmmmm, there was a photo attached to that so if anyone can advise on how I attach photos from Flickr that'd be very much appreciated.  Cheers.

use the highlighted text as shown below, having the bb code bullet button selected and paste the selection in



If you delete everything after the second occurence of "[/url]" then you should have only the picture showing, a la above.

By the way, the tent geeks on the forum like to see inside the tent also, what about a wee pick of the living/storage space?

Next time I have it pitched I'll take some more photos for the geeks!

Bit slow catching up with these posts, but that is a cracking looking tent, health to enjoy!  I definitely like that shape of tent with a large pole forming the spine before branching off into two smaller poles at the front.  Bit like the Vaude Hogan.  As far as I know Ultralight Outdoor Gear stock Big Agnes kit in the UK, although I think you've grabbed a bit of a bargain to get that to your doorstep for £200!  Hopefully get a chance to see it pitched sometime :)
