    I think I might have noticed them before. Their stuff does seem to be good value for money (I would consider giving a tiny violin to a friend to start a child off!)

    I thought at first you had to register to find out what the shipping was, but now I see it says at the bottom of the page - looks like a good value tent!

    Generally when buying tents (I have been camping every year for the last 22 years - OMG I've just shocked myself!! :eek: ) there are 2 strategies.

    1. Buy a top of the range tent and hope it will last

    2. Buy cheap and be prepared to replace every 4-5 years.

    I have tried both, and have decided strategy 2 is definitely better - the sun will rot the 'canvas' anyway, in a nice summer like the present one.

    Conclusion - I think the Auckland looks like a good idea! :D
