    Hi everyone.

    I'm currently searching for a tent that's affordable, but good quality. I came across this site and I'd like to know if anyone has ever heard of a Siberian Red tent, and whether they really are as good as they make out on the site?

    I've done a search on google, but it doesn't look like anyone in the world has ever sold/heard of/reviewed this brand. It makes me wonder whether they really are good quality, and tbh the site looks kinda dodgy. :confused: Does anyone have any thoughts?

    I need a tent to go camping in Somerset for 10 days in August. :eek: Can anyone help? Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance.

    Avoid campmania - I ordered a next day delivery tent the friday before last - cancelled it as it wasn't going to arrive on time and got a call from work yesterday to say it had been delivered. I haven't heard of siberian red either - frankly I would rather go for a recognisable name

    visit www.ukcampsite.co.uk forums and see if anyone there has heard of it

    More by good luck than good management, flea. DD and I had gone looking for "Quick Pitch" type tents for a Rainbow sleepover and she spotted it!! Wouldn't let me leave the store without it!! Our problem now is do we take our caravan on holiday or "test drive" the tent

    I've never heard of Siberian Red.I'd stick to a well known brand. What happens if you need spare parts? I'd also prefer to see the tent in the flesh before buying. Which one were you looking at, we may be able to find something similar?
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die

    If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!

    How many people do you need it for?

    Next time you are at McDonalds or similar cafe, pick up some extra ketchups/brown sauce, mustard, vinegar salt & pepper, sugar etc, for extra flavour when cooking :)

    the gelert cirrus (6 berth) looks like a bargain at £85
    http://www.scoutshops.com/acatalog/6_person-tents.html
    doesn't look like it has a sewn in groundsheet, but gelert is a good brand so should keep you dry ;-), can't find any reviews on it though
    hope this helps someone

    Looking for a decent sized cheap tent for holidays. Just found this at Argos!

    Looks like a good deal? What do you think?
