    Hi, Alan Robertson here, got out for the today in derrybawn Co Wicklow for the first time in about 30 years. Had the mountain to myself. Couldn't find a place to camp, all bog
    Amazing feeling achieving my goal. Monday was a brilliant day, buzzing.

      Hi Alan, it's great to hear about your adventure in Derrybawn, Co Wicklow. Having the mountain to yourself must have been a peaceful experience. Sometimes, finding a camping spot can be a bit tricky, especially in boggy areas, but it's all part of the adventure. Achieving your goal on that brilliant Monday must have left you buzzing. Keep enjoying those outdoor moments!

    I have this tent and it's super easy to pitch with loads of space. I do really like it. I have had a guyline loop sawn in either side and also on the front vent. I used a bit of the strap from the bag and it cost me 8 quid from a local sawing shop. But I wish it would have come from vango already done.

    The trouble is with the Xenon is there once was a better, lighter version it was the F10 Nitro Lite 200 which I have weighing just 1.48kg! It has a better orange inner which I much prefer. I also have the 200+ which weighs 1.76kg - Once upon a time Vango made amazing tents.

    Great review, cheers. Looking for a 4th season 2 man tent but not sure this is the one for me. Got the mongar 2, and love it. But its mesh inner, and cold. Leaning towards the lanshan 2.

    • @soletrail
      @soletrail  8 місяців тому +1

      Thanks for the feedback! It's great that you're considering a 4th season 2-man tent. The Mongar 2 is a solid choice, but I understand your concern about the mesh inner being cold. The Lanshan 2 could be a good option with its design. Ultimately, the right choice depends on your specific needs and camping conditions. Happy camping

      Hey Ger. I totally understand the tent-shopping dilemma! 😅 For three-season camping, consider the REI Half Dome 2 Plus or the Big Agnes Copper Spur HV UL2. They offer a good balance of durability, weather protection, and ease of setup. Its a rabbit hole Ger and happy to help you in any way I can. 🏕️🌞😊

      I brought the bike, got past the gate, hid it. The surface (I'd like to think) is banjaxed, must have been the lovely rains. But it was all worth it. Some views, watched a band of rain pass me, thankfully. Sheep galore. Thanks for the idea.

  • @robch4414
    @robch4414 7 місяців тому

    It's a good tent, but those vents - the absence of any means of keeping them open - really let it down. There are simple ways to solve this, but Vango don't seem to make ventilation a priority IME.

  • @TheKevcarp
    @TheKevcarp 9 місяців тому +1

    Not being able to keep the front vent open is annoying. Why don’t they just sew in a plastic prop/arm to keep it open. Otherwise I may be tempted.

    • @soletrail
      @soletrail  9 місяців тому +1

      I completely understand your frustration with the front vent! It can be a common concern with some tent designs. Manufacturers may avoid sewing in plastic props or arms to keep the vent open to maintain simplicity and durability. However, you can often find aftermarket solutions like tent clips or accessories that can help you keep the vent open when needed. It's worth exploring these options before making a decision. Happy camping, and I hope you find a workaround that suits your needs! 😊🏕️👍
