It's a Wild Country Zephyros 2XL Lite. The 'XL' bit is brilliant - I can stretch out in my sleeping bag and not remotely touch either end of the inner, and it's tall enough in the middle for me to sit upright. The Hilleberg Akto, Terra Nova Laser Comp and the regular Zephyros models are all too small for me. The 2XL is a bit of a bargain right now and is still less than 2kg. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13339#post-163204 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 09:49:30 +0000 cb 163204@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"What kind of tent is that?"</p> <p>That's what I wondered. </p> <p><a href="http://www.terra-nova.co.uk/search/index/?category=169&amp;Brand%5B%5D=Wild+Country&amp;keyword=keyword&amp;search=search">One of these</a> I think. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13339#post-163203 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 09:21:14 +0000 fimm 163203@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Very nice.<br /> What kind of tent is that? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13339#post-163194 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 20:35:35 +0000 wingpig 163194@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"Tweek" would be a Little? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13339#post-163185 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 15:13:47 +0000 SimonS 163185@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'm not sure that the SeaKing was ever intended to be a nuclear bomber! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13339#post-163183 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 12:05:30 +0000 Arellcat 163183@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Just back from a few days in Yawkshire, staying in a spacious site several miles from the city, and giving my new tent its first proper outing:</p> <p><a href="http://s1038.photobucket.com/user/BeckyT_bike/media/Miscellany/DSC_9831_zpsb6f9586d.jpg.html"><img src="http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a470/BeckyT_bike/Miscellany/th_DSC_9831_zpsb6f9586d.jpg"></a></p> <p>Finally had a chance to cycle the length of the solar system:</p> <p><a href="http://s1038.photobucket.com/user/BeckyT_bike/media/Miscellany/DSC_9837_2_zps84ad8925.jpg.html"><img src="http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a470/BeckyT_bike/Miscellany/th_DSC_9837_2_zps84ad8925.jpg"></a></p> <p>Human power energy sources (the <em>gorgeous</em> chocolate-topped flapjacks from Thomas the Baker were hiding in my pannier):</p> <p><a href="http://s1038.photobucket.com/user/BeckyT_bike/media/Miscellany/IMAG0642_2_zps14b2266d.jpg.html"><img src="http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a470/BeckyT_bike/Miscellany/th_IMAG0642_2_zps14b2266d.jpg"></a></p> <p>A rumbling bridge, even though it only leads into a field of sheep.
