And weighs 2 to 3 times as much as other tents perfectly suitable for
most uses in the UK.

I wouldn't touch a Force 10 now. Heavy, bulky, not very waterproof,
difficult to pitch. In fact, not only did I find it difficult to believe
that they still make them, but almost fell off my chair at the price. A
design classic, certainly, but surpassed in absolutely every respect
(except, perhaps, orangeness) by modern tents.
Maybe I'm wrong. Someone must be buying them still. But if I was looking for
a sports car, I wouldn't only look at an MG Midget.
