Gelert Polycotton Navajo tents

Looking good Lol.
Lovely spot too how long did you stop over?
Have you run a hose pipe over it yet.......just in case.
 
I weathered it as soon as I had bought it and set it up in the garden. All just beaded off as one may expect from new polycotton?
It was a two day, one (afternoon and) night trip, punting the current and wind (!) back up river to the car took most of the day!!

Trip : My first verse.......2 days on the Suffolk Stour

Taking the bell tent for it's first serious outing in June for a short week to the Broads (canoeing) and use as a base: this time two up, not solo:)

At the time of writing, the dreaded SD are selling at a gut wrenching £169...………….I paid £179 a month or so ago via ebay reseller, and list is a way too much, eyewatering £499
 
Looks like the Gelert Navajo 4 is now unobtanium?
 
Good one, someone emailed me only yesterday, through UK Campsite, saying they couldn't find any, and certainly yesterday F and T were not advertising them.
I have let them know, thank you.
 
Well, having waxed lyrical, deservedly so, over the Navajo 4 I bought ( at the price), I am now going to muddy the waters a bit: npo problem with the Gelert Navajo 4 at all, far from it.........it's just that I have just managed to acquire an unopened Robens Fairbanks, at an....."acceptable" price.

Each tent has some advantages over the other, and both share a "fault", but generally I feel that the Fairbanks is a little bit better in the quality of the weave and the pole not coming in the tent (mind you the Gelert has a ZIG not SIG like the Fairbanks)....small things, but again at the price, I couldn't and didn't say no............so I guess I'm going to have to rehome the Navajo 4?
 
I have been looking at the Fairbanks for some time as well............ @lol
It is a quality............ well-made............ bit of kit........... and offers plenty of space and shelter............excellent in the wind too......and warmer in the cooler months.
Big fan of Polly cotton :thumbsup:
The sewn in groundsheet will keep the draughts and bugs out ;)

Easy to put up and take down by the looks of things........as is my Lux Megahorn 11........which I am now selling.
 
I must admit that I don't own a polyester tent......I have in years gone by, but all mine are now cotton or polycotton..............:)

JUST IN CASE anyone has been considering my Gelert Navajo 4 as discussed somewhere?........a potential buyer has expressed an interest, and I'm pretty SURE it will be for re sale at a higher price and not usage...……..
SO...if anyone here wants it, say so NOW ……………….:)
