A lovely roomy tent, ideal for families or couples
The Walpole 6 comes from the Ultracamp Minister Range comes complete with the new Weather Tech 3000 flysheet.
This 6 person tent is quick and easy to assemble. The tent has a spacious living area between the two bedrooms. There is a really useful porch area at the front to provide shade from the sun, which may be zipped closed at night. The two separate bedrooms with zip doors have sewn in groundsheets with an optional loose groundsheet to the main living area.
This is a really flexible tent layout, allowing you an individual bedroom for adults and one for children, or a room each for two couples. The living room, used with the groundsheet makes a useful storage area for belongings whilst sleeping and without the groundsheet, during the day, is ideal for table and chairs.

*Rain resistance is measured as a hydrostatic head in millimetres (mm). This indicates the pressure of water needed to penetrate a fabric. Heavy or wind-driven rain has a higher pressure than light rain. Standing on a groundsheet increases the pressure on any water underneath. Fabric with a hydrostatic head rating of 1000 mm or less is best regarded as shower resistant, with 1500 mm being usually suitable for summer camping. Tents for year-round use generally have at least 2000 mm.
**Many tent manufacturers indicate capacity by such phrases as "3 berth" or "2 person". These numbers indicate how many people the manufacturer thinks can be fit snugly into a tent with just sleeping bags. These numbers do not allow for any personal belongings, such as luggage, inflatable mattresses, camp beds, cots, etc., nor do they allow for people who are of above average height. Checking the quoted sizes of sleeping areas reveals that several manufacturers consider that a width of 150 cm (5 feet) is enough for three people — snug is the operative word. Experience indicates that camping may be more comfortable if the actual number of occupants is one or even two less than the manufacturer's suggestion.
