We've had our Nallo 2 GT for over 6 years now and it served us well camping through the National Parks of the West over 2 months in all manner of weather it never failed us.

We went for the GT for that extra room and put up with the extra weight. Yet it still makes for the perfect wildcap tent for two people with all that room for your rucksacks in the porch I just love it!

As for wind, never been a problem.

Drivers there are plain crazy, the worst for us was Ecuador, you just close your eyes and pray you get there in one piece.

Yeah still in Blackpool, and the big trips are over for now.

But I've wasted no time in getting my cute little daughter out into the great outdoors and my plan is to get her to the top of one of the larger Lakeland Fells by the end of summer fingers crossed.

So next purchase is one of those baby rucksack/carrier things, can't wait!

Ian..are you the guy that was going to south America and never coming back?????I remember saying somethink like after 6 months intense travel most peeps want to come home.Is that you???


Hi Julian,

Yeah thats me alright, gosh you have a good memory! 

Well I did come back after 6 months in South and North America.... to reality... a job, a mortgage and now recently my first child, so life is kinda different now to say the least!

And yes 6 months away travelling did gets us down a little at the end mainly due to having no money and missing home comforts. But I have memories to treasure forever!
