Vango Force 10 Vortex 300

Sorry I havnt replied to this thread in a while folks.

Well, went up Commedagh a while back now (Write up is on the forum).

Only thing that does annoy me about the tent are the valances, they move in the wind. 
'Is it a rat I hear or the wind moving the valances?' was the thought that mostly occupied my mind before nodding off.
So just tuck them under if it aint snowing.

Way too much space as well. 

I've been on one summit wild camp so far and I've decided that a decent bivvy bag is going to replace this tent.
Gonna use the tent for when the kids wanna come too or if its snowing up there when I wanna go

Now, desicion time.  Just home after spending my Birthday, Xmas and new year away working (23 days) and I'm feeling the need to get out for an overnighter.  Donard summit is looking good for Tuesday night but it means hoofing this $&$& tent up too     (Bivvy purchase has to wait til end of month, Xmas prezzies and all that.)

Will see what the weathers like on Tuesday morn and will post any photos worth posting if I do.

Hope Santa brought you all some nice new shiney stuff.

Is there an option to remove the inner tent thus reducing the weight, even if only slightly?

The inner does comes out completely so you could end up on the footprint (which I bought separate, for anyone thats interested) with just the outer.

Would be like sleeping in a huge bivvy
