Found this site through in_a_tent on twitter, so I thought I'd say hello.

So hello!!

A bit about me and camping....
Have been camping from a very young age with my family, took a bit of a break, but now back into it good and proper

Am a proud owner of a tentipi safir 7cp, which I love


Probably a bit over the top for British Summertime camping, but hey ho, you only live once!

Anyway, see you around!

The tent....
Spend one camping trip pitched next to a tipi. My wife fell in love with it and wanted one.
So when we got home we did a bit of research and found out about tentipi's. We spent the next 2 or so years talking ourselves out of getting one, because of the price, but then in the end gave in.
Got it from a shop by Weston Super Mare in the end, not many places stock them.

Here is a better photo of it, it's been put up properly here, unlike in the first photo when I was only half way through it when I took the photo....

brilliant tent, so what's the difference between a tipi and a bell tent?

That's a very good question.... Bell tents seem to have a tipi shaped top, but more of a straight bottom, having said that, tipi's tend to have multiple poles, where as mind only has a single pole.

So, I'm going to go for.... one is spelt "T I P I" and the other is spelt "B E L L T E N T"

For some reason I've never been up there myself, despite walking most of that area.

Tis a very nice site, the caravan bit is completly seperate, so just a proper camping field.
