I got if from Cotswold.  They did a price match for me...that was the cheapest i could find on the net so they matched it.  I thought it was a pretty good price for the ultralight. 

LennyJ1 that was a good'n...made me laugh neway :)

it performed brilliant!!  Sat nite was very wet and windy but the little tent passed with flying colours.  Not a drop of water got in and the structure was strong enough.  Having the little porch was handy in the bad weather too....left things alot easier.  The tent was put up and down in a jiffy...very straight forward and easy to handle.  I love it :)  So far so good.

Hopefully this weekend there'll be some better weather tho....ill get trying it out again.

Had the Helium out in November - a really stormy night - the little tent poles were being pulled out of the ground.

But i was absolutely amazed at how much a pole can bend without it snapping.  I was lying in the tent and the main pole was touching my head - fantastic tent plus really light.
