Wanted one of these for years and finally bought one.
Really easy and quick to put up and bomb proof. Tested It on a really wet and windy weekend and had a great nights sleep knowing my tent wasn’t going to leak or blow away in the strong winds.
Can’t wait to get it out again.
This tent is the business easy to set up will withstand all kinds of weather, great name too the anagram of Govan a area of Glasgow the home of the Company.
A wee bit heavy but will last for years, only for one person though this version.
Just buy one.

I've been using these tents as both a civilian and a soldier for nearly 30 years and they are simply fantastic. They set the standard. It was my tent of choice in taking my 3 year old son for his first camping trip. Quick and easy to erect and simple to take down. The front porch gives you enough room to cook in (I use a 25 series Trangia) and there's more than enough room for all of your kit at the other end of the tent. The only downside I can think off is that the 'Vango' standard tent pegs are not that great, so I would recommend that you ditch the pegs and get stronger ones. But don't be put off with that as you can not buy a better tent than this.
Very good tent, not a lightweight tent, but I was not expecting it to be. Very good condition, no pinholes in the cotton and a superb heavyweight ‘tub’ style ground sheet. As easy to put up as I remember, 10 minutes up and 15 minutes down and packed.
