Having finally managed to track a copy of this months Camping mag down, I notice the Zenobia gets two mentions in the readers letters from two satisfied campers. Well done Go Outdoors, good result :D .

I also notice in the Magazine that the Zenobia is on offer from the 19th to the 25th July at £149.99 (currently £199).

Like the internal tent shots, but the Corado 8 isn't up yet,,,,,,not got a zoom lens for that corridor :D .




Nope, never took it out of the box. But, the salesperson said this tent was super easy to set up; even in windy conditions...

i was at go outdoors today and was looking at the tents it was a bit blustery but nothing over the top all the tents were pitched out but was amazed to watch the hi gear mojave 5 buckle in the wind the flexi poles just seemed like elastic.
as anyone got one of these and have you ever been out in windy weather in it?

I personally have been to Go outdoors at least 10 times in the last couple of months since it has opened near me, I have spent countless of hours looking at the tents. I have just picked up a Hartford XL and a Oakland XL at great prices. That said the reason I went for Outwell is because of the quality of the fixings,after spending literally hours going from one tent to the other both my wife and I thought that even though the Hi gear tents are supposed to be the same HH (HYDROSTATIC HEAD) the quality of the tent was not as good as the Outwell and if I remember correctly the material fades on the Higear or at least the one on display did.

My advice would be to spend as much time possible checking out the entire tent and I wish you all the luck.

I've got the Zenobia 6 and we're going on our first trip in a couple of weeks so will let you know how easy it is to put up and take down and how roomy it is when we get back. :rock:

hi gear gobi 4 bought this tent the other week and camped in it over the last two days. Good points are the tent is really roomy and is great for me the wife and two rugrats plus two poodles it was very easy to dismantle and easily fitted back in the bag. Bad points the instructions are next to useless we were told that it would take one hour tops to erect for the first time complete cods wallop it took three hours of following the instructions to erect it possibly now it will take about 45 minutes to erect in the future but be warned the first time putting it up is a complete nightmare. But to be honest this is just my view point all in all it is a great tent for £99.00. :tent: ' :tune:

Our 1st tent which we've just been away in is a Zenobia 6, and as we never had a chance for a practice pitch i was a little concerned when we turned up on a wet and windy camp site at the top of Woolacombe! but to be honest the tent literally flew up with no trouble at all and the person on the pitch behind us commented on how fast we got it up. We also have the porch as well which went up with no problem at all, the only complaint i have with it is the gap at the bottom of the porch.Both tent and porch also came down very easily and there is loads of room in the bag to get the tent in with no difficulty at all, the porch however was a little harder and more awkward to fold up and get in the bag but i'm thinking that's just a practice issue. Personnally speaking i would highly recommend the Zenobia 6 tent it's very spacious and we had no issues at all with it.

What I have seen of the Zenobia at Go Outdoors has impressed me. Looks a cracking tent
