Peakland Bakewell
(Sleeping Capacity 3 persons)

The Tent
Peakland Bakewell, 3 berth dome tent
£25 from Yeomans. Bought this tent for over night stops,
gets good reviews on Yeomans website, and Yeomans
Peakland range have a reputation for good solid tents.
We have not used it in anger, but have put it up to
check it. Was a breeze to put up, just 2 poles (spare
pole supplied) was a bit surprised how tall it was, we
knew the specs. already, but when you see it in the
flesh it seemed taller. Room enough for our double
airbed and some junk, apex off roof has a mesh vent with
a cap on it, also door has a mesh vent. The porch is
split in 2 halves, so you can open just 1 halve if
weather cognitions demand it. We are happy with the
tent, our only gripe is it is dark blue, apart from that
we think it is a good buy, you can save money and buy
similar cheaper, but we think given the reviews and
Peakland reputation it was worth spending a few pounds
more.
