Outwell Casagrande L (2004)
A real classic design that is updated for 2006 with the new detachable bathtub groundsheet in the living area. The Casagrande L is a spacious family tent with 2 generous inners and living space between big enough for 4 people to sit around a table under cover. The large windows allow plenty of light and flexi vents help control the internal climate efficiently. The Durawrap pole system creates a very stable tent which along with numerous guying points ensures you a trouble free camping trip.

covering the ground
Think our old method of thinnish plastic under the inners might be best - two small thin bits of plastic are easy to fold. We have shaped groundsheet for the living area.
I wonder how the footprints tie in with last year's hot topic, which was the insistence by some camp-sites on the use of breathable groundsheets, to keep the grass greener? This was not popular, as they were fine in dry weather, but useless in the wet.
One compromise was to lift the groundsheets during the day, to let the grass breathe, but this would not be possible with a footprint. For a short stay, the problem doesn't arise.
As with everything camping, it is swings and roundabouts.
