Have an Easter Adventure with Wild Country Tents

March 14, 2013 - PRLog -- Wild Country is encouraging families to venture outdoors during the holidays with its range of tents.

Featuring tried and tested technology developed by its award winning sister company Terra Nova Equipment (http://www.terra-nova.co.uk/) – whose tents have been taken on the ‘Coldest Journey’  winter Antarctica expedition – Wild Country have something for everyone, from first time campers to camping veterans.

Etesian and Citadel tents from  Wild Country (http://www.terra-nova.co.uk/p/about-the-brands/wild-country/)  provide the solution for a perfect family getaway this Easter.

Ideal for spontaneous trips, the Etesian 4 tent is light weight, doesn’t take up much room in the boot of a car, yet doesn’t compromise on space either – allowing you to stand up inside.

Offering three season protection, the Etesian 4 (http://www.terra-nova.co.uk/tents-and-spares/all-tents/etesian-4-tent/) is easy and quick to pitch, with a stable and free standing design.

The four person tent also includes a large porch hood and sewn-in porch groundsheet – part of which can be zipped back – providing a place to store muddy boots or to dry wet gear.

For a family adventure, the Citadel 5 (http://www.terra-nova.co.uk/tents-and-spares/all-tents/ci...) offers ultimate protection against the elements.

Spacious and easy to pitch, the five person tent stands strong with high quality steel poles, Kevlar-stitched corners and guylines that are reinforced with durable Hypalon – the material used to make inflatable boats.

Last year, the Citadel 5 from Wild Country completed a nine month ‘all-weather’ trial pitched in a field in the Peak District.  

With an impressive account of withstanding temperatures as low as -10 degrees Celsius, heavy snowfall, gale force winds and the wettest April on record for over a century, the ‘all weather’ trial shows  how robust Wild Country family tents are.

Videos of the trial are available to view at http://bit.ly/LnvarC.

Carolyn Budding, a director of Wild Country, said: “Holidays with the family can often be few and far between, so when they do come around we want to make sure they are memorable.

“Families often put plans on hold to wait for a sunny day but, with the right tent, camping trips can be enjoyed all year round or taken on the spur of the moment whatever the weather.”

Notes To Editors

Wild Country provides robust, trusted tents for families and backpackers that are designed to stand the test of time.

Wild Country’s headquarters are located in Derbyshire, in the Amber Valley.

Wild Country is one of a group of companies led by husband and wife team Andy Utting and Carolyn Budding, including the world-renowned Terra Nova Tents, the children’s clothing retailer Little Terra – and the high performance Extremities® range of gloves, mitts, socks, hats, gaiters and other accessories.

This year, Wild Country Tents completed an all-weather trial of its Citadel 5 tent. Pitched in a field in the Peak District in October 2011, the tent was still standing more than half a year later when the tent was taken down in June 2012.

During this time the tent endured temperatures as low as -10 degrees Celsius, more than eight inches of snowfall in one day, gale force winds and the wettest April on record for over a century – without maintenance. See the video at http://www.youtube.com/user/WildCountryTents
