The Tent
The Lichfield Sandwood 4+2
Our first new tent for many years, We liked
the design and the space even though there
are just 2 of us. Just had 3 nights at
Cayton village site with sun high winds and
6 hours heavy rain on one day!! a good test
for any tent.
First putting it up, it took us 25mins, not
bad as I am a blind 57 year not very fit
man, the wife is a lot younger, but a
natural blond!!!! just put 2 bedrooms up,
one to sleep in, one for the loo and
storage. Loads of room, loads of hight. Very
easy to fit in all our tons of stuff.
In the wind the fiber poled areas of the
tent flex quite a lot, put a couple of extra
guy ropes on to minimise this, the steel
poled area is solid as a rock. Would say
that in the sun it gets very hot, we have
rolled the side doors up at night so we don't
wake up sweaty. In the rain, a bit poor, it
leaked on both seams below the steel poles,
and in two corners ( am hoping that this is
just the fabric proofing itself, if not its
bad enough to complain about.

Verdict
Overall we love the design, and if the leaky
bit cures itself then we will take it on the
Europe trip planned for next year, We paid
£257 for it, don't think I would be as happy
if we had paid some of the daft prices we
saw it at.
