I doubt Fi will come bike touring... and it was clear our combined requirements were never going to lead to a tent good for solo bike touring. Hence... the Hilleberg Enan or something for that.
For the "family" tent... well, my last went everywhere. +42'c temperatures in Western Australia, and -9'c in Sweden. Super dry conditions in the Grand Canyon... tropical rainforest during rainy season.
If it were just the UK, and likely to be just the UK... I wouldn't spend this much money. But I love camping, and I go far and wide. The bike camping is a new thing, and my old tent had finally given up the ghost... so I was hoping a single tent would do both things at once... but ho hum.
Anyhow... this is what the Grand Canyon looks like in places:
It takes a trek through the base to reach that, but oh wow is it worth it. The softest water I've ever been swimming in. I'm going to go back there one day, and take a more comfortable tent and stay for longer.
