There's a Terra nova Voyager for sale near me Same as Andrew Beavers is using at the moment. Its £299.. I can get it for 270. Do well to get it below 500 sheets online. I'm tempted.. but it's quite long when packed an doesn't have to big a porch/ vestibule...

Get an expedition hammock mate. Less than a kilo in weight and some can be set like a tent if you’ve nowhere to hang it

If you can get that for new £270 then that’s the bargain of the century, I’ve been on the lookout for one and a few times nearly hit the buy button… 

My only concern and downside in my eyes is the fact that it’s inner pitch first so if it’s pi55ing down the inner will get it until you put the fly sheet on although the inner should be treated with a DWR coating (water repellency) I would need imagine…

Its a superb tent and the front porch is cracking for cooking and keeping gear although there’s bags of space and storage in the tent itself

Thanks for that mate. Yes it is new and my Mrs gets another 10% because she's ex SAS.  I'm assuming Terra Nova send oddments there to move on. There was a Laser compact in there too for £399. Yes.. agree inner pitch first thing does put me off to be honest.

Decisions Decisions!!

Personally I think for £270 you’d be crazy not to get it… To be fair you could try it out on a few trips and if you decide it’s not right for you so long as you don't damage it or anything you’d happily get your money back selling it on 2nd hand

The likes of the laser compact and the Hilleberg Enan are great for summer but in winter and wet weather you need a bit more space as you can be tent bound for long periods - always nice to be able to sit up…

The voyager is a one man palace
