While most of the nation has been stuck indoors thanks to the recent snow, Woodlore customer Garry Dutfield headed out onto the North Yorkshire Moors for a spot of camping, and even took his cross-country skis along for the journey. After using a Hilleberg tent for his trip, he kindly sent in the following review and photos:

Dear Woodlore, About 18 months ago I started looking for a new lightweight, 1-man tent. After many many hours of research and looking at every tent manufacturer I could find, I decided upon the Akto Tent made by Hilleberg - not the lightest, but the only one that was a four season tent. The last thing you want is it blowing down in a gale when in the mountains... Although it has a hefty price tag I decided it would be the one to go for; I purchased it from yourselves as you offered it at the best price. I've used it 3 or 4 times, but never in the winter until last week, where I went to the North Yorkshire Moors. It was used for two nights while we did a cross-country ski tour across the Moors. It performed brilliantly in temperatures of minus 10 degrees centigrade and blizzard conditions - I must say what a fantastic tent in the winter. I've enclosed some photos and would recommend this tent to anyone looking for a 3/4 season tent. Well done Hilleberg, fantastic quality. 5 stars. Garry Dutfield
