Thanks Michel and Kritziana! I think the man in the shop just meant that the tent would be having more sun coz it doesn’t go down at night rather than implying that the midnight sun has some sort of magical properties. Anyway, thanks so much for your answers!

Hi everyone,

Have you had any issues with using a very light weight tent when there is the midnight sun? The guy in my local camping store said that the UVs would damage the tent fly. Cheers!!!

Me again!

How important do you think it is to have a free-standing tent as opposed to a tent that you have to stake out? I’m wondering about how frequently you’ve had to pitch your tents on surfaces that were too hard to stake out or on concrete surfaces?

I’m still debating whether to buy a new tent or not! I will be doing Paris-North Cape (including eurovélo 1 in Norway).

@Matthew Norway I will be booking a call soon but trying to get as much information together beforehand so as to be able to ask intelligent questions.

Thanks so much!

Hi everyone,

I currently use a Ferrino Sling 2 but it is quite heavy (1600g). I’ve just seen a really good deal on the Big Agnes HV UL 1. It weighs only 910 g and costs 287 euros. It seems like a very good deal to me but I’m concerned I’m missing something! My plan is to go from Paris to North Cape next year. Doyou think this tent would be good for that plan? Would it stand up to the elements enough?
