    I'm impressed with my Lanshan 1 Pro - I don't care what chi-chi DCF offerings there are out there, 690g is still properly Ultralight in my book. Although I'm confident it'll cope with more, it sits in the 'mainly fairweather minimalist' niche for me. Otherwise it's a Scarp 1, nearly double the weight but double the space and protection too!
    Earplugs? Rain and wind are my favourite bedtime sounds in the tent...

      Yep I agree , I have had mine out in all weathers and it holds up no probs . But yeah ideal for 3 season camping . I don’t think I actually put them in ,in the end . Atb Dave

      I'm buying my Lanshan pro1 4 season tomorrow. Same situation using the Scarp 1 for hill camping/more severe weather conditions. Looking forward to using the Lanshan as an easily packable option while doing the Wainwrights.

    I found pitching the tent with the entrance facing wind stopped almost all condensation. When I tried it in any other direction condensation really built up. In the mornings I would have a damp sleeping bag.
    A fabulous tent. I used it on the Cape Wrath this month.

It was my first experience with a single skin and I love my Rab sleeping bag a lot so I was a paranoid camper for the night to avoid the walls! I had been using a Hubba Hubba for years before this tent - I ended up selling the Lanshan Pro and bought another 1 person tent for when I want to go lighter. I know the Lanshan Pro works for many - it just wasn’t my cup of tea, that’s all. I wanted to love it - but I didn’t 😊

I added dyneema lines and worked out the pole height. It’s fine now. First time out it was like my aunties knickers 😂
      It’s factory sealed so no leaks.
      I was approached by the lanshan company but turned it down due to the amount of fettling. (I like that word) but after watching a few vids Daves included I’m starting to wish I’d accepted it 😂 just means more tent research needed. 👍

A little bit fiddly, but for the low weight and small pack size, I’m a happy camper. Possibly not a great profile for strong winds but it has decent head height and porch size and a non saggy inner to date. It’s meeting my needs for now anyway! I’ve the MSR Hubba Hubba and the MSR Access 2 and I love the. both but I wanted to try something lighter also.

    There is quite the community out and about in the forest, I see a couple of bikers and walkers every time I am out there. There is also a couple of horse riders, who have cleared a couple of tracks, unfortunately there are still quite a lot of tracks uncleared, the forestry commission seem to have done the bare minimum, just clearing the biggest tracks.
    Also I hear plenty of cuckoo in most of the south kielder forests, maybe all the harvesting will mean more wildlife
