Hilleberg Allak 3

I've used the Hilleberg Allak 3 for 2 of us and it was great. Bit more expensive than some other options but really glad we went for that.

Got it while I was working in the oil and gas industry up in Scotland and had a lot of free time on my hands. Did a number of trips round the Cairngorms and the poles held up very well in some strong winds.

My Allak 3 took a right battering the night after this pic was taken. Stood up to it brilliantly.

I bought a Wild Country Helm Compact 3 last year, used it 6 or 7 times and I reckon its a bargain.
Easy and quick to put up, just 2 poles, inner and fly together, loads of space for one plus associated crap and I can sit in my chair inside the tent (in the middle) and I'm 6'4".
Best part is the pack size is 30cm x 24cm so it slots in a pannier.
Looks like Terra Nova are using it under their brand rather than the Wild Country label now.

If I was going somewhere with biblical weather forecast I would be in a hotel for the night,

Get a Hilleberg. :thumb2

Expensive yes but absolutely worth every penny and you’ll almost get your money back when / if you come to sell it.
