Cheviot’s look great as does the V1. Snowdonia = Eryri (Ur-ruh- ri) and Snowdon is Yr Wyddfa (Ur Wivth- vah). The rounded hills in Welsh are usually called Moel …which I would imagine the inhabitants of the hill fort would have called the hills in the cheviots.

Haha yeah it looks like it's gonna rain so I thought straight up to check. Yes the vestibule door can be fixed to trekking poles for an awning if you want. I'm a fan of big vestibules haha. I can put my boots and some kit in one and cook, enter and exit from the other. I'll probably change out the guylines for 3mm hilleberg line and I'm going to swap the pegs. They're basic v pegs and I have others I like more but other than that I'm happy as is. Will see how it performs. I've the option to swap out the poles if I really want to from 7001 T6 to DAC but that's a decision for another time.

I've bought additional magnets off e bay. Very cheap. Same diameter, far stronger, and taped them over the originals with DCF tape. Far better, but just shouldn't be necessary. It's a known fault.

Tbh the Vern 1 isn't fit for purpose. It's not for favoured influencers or customers that have purchased the product with their own money to test the product after it's hit the market. Yes Nortent can correct the obvious design flaws in the third edition of this tent but that doesn't help those customers that trusted this company prior to purchase and made the financial investment. If they suggest 10mm DAC poles, then ship them to current owners for free. Or do the decent thing and just issue a full product recall. The only hype I believed was that purchasing a second set of Nortent 9mm poles for harsh weather was beneficial. This I fell for. According to another Nortent owner that's posted online and invested in both a new set of DAC poles and another set of Nortent 9mm it makes little difference to the performance. But the weight penalty is getting ridiculous. The use of a trekking pole to assist the front guylines seems to be the best option to aid stability and wind resistance. It's a shambolic mess and Nortent are 100% to blame. Time they took it on the chin!
