Well, I promised CWF, one of the members here , that I would let him know when the 2010 Rainbow is ready.
Henry has his prototype and is about to start production , it should be ready for shipping mid April.
The major advantage on this version is that two mats fit in and still have a bit of a bathtub floor.
The other tweaks are the same as with the Double Rainbow 2010.
See details here.

As of yesterday I am no longer just a Tarptent fan but will have a closer working relationship with Henry.
I will post some details in a couple of weeks.

You going to be supplying Henry with the anti-joey netting demanded by antipodean lightweighters?

Cheers,

As you are provably aware we keep roos as pets , but possums and wombats can be a problem. Working on that at the moment.
(that is when I get the Moment)
The idea is to have some shelters here in Melbourne for folk to look at and play with.
I have only been playing with the solo shelters so far because that is my main interest.

Yes Phat, you lucky sod, I have heard of your Tasmanian excursion.
We all like to make fun of Tasmania here in Australia (that is a joke..) but the walks are pretty nice. And so is the salmon,beer, cheese,cream, porcini mushrooms,beer, truffles(!) beer ... oh never mind it's 90f here in Melbourne, I really need to go for a walk, somewhere cooler.
BTW, those are pademelons, smaller than wallabies and kangaroos.
