I'd appreciate some thoughts on the following -

1) I', looking at the "Outwell Buckville 700" at http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/outwell-buckville-700-... - (which is said to be rename of "Outwell Drummond 7") http://www.outwell.com/en/Products/tents/deluxe-te... as a family camping tent for the 4 of us - any experience of Outwell or the tent?

2) I'm slightly concerned re the size of tent Vs pitch sizes (UK & Le Mans) - as pitches seem to be 5x5/6x6 - is it book 2 pitches or ask nicely?

3) any experience of Go Outdoors as a retailer?

4) any alternatives?

happy new year!

thanks for the advice - purchased a "Outwell Buckville 700" from GoOutdoors Oxford - and the footprint & carpet from GoOutdoors Basingstoke; very helpful staff.

Now I'm just trying to decide if if should get the Dual Protector as well - any thoughts? http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/outwell-buckville-700-...

Camp sites seem to be ok with bookings so far, just most of them asking for us to book a L or XL pitch at £5-10 extra - so no issues.

Fits in the bot of the Range Rover nicely so all good there (although the bags are heavy - any recommendations on collapsible carts?)

Cheers

Ian
