As I was struggling to sit up in my Terra Nova Voyager Superlite recently (TGO best Buy a few months back I think), having slept the night with knees partly bent because I could not stretch out my legs fully, it occurred to me that the superb gear reviewers in TGO (Chris, John, Cameron et al) all suffer from the same fault ie they are all rather short in stature and have pretty small feet to boot (pun intended)!!! I am 6 foot 3 and have very wide size 10.5 feet and it took my purchase of said tent to bring home to me that whilst reviewers may be really experienced in the outdoors something as simple as their size might make a massive difference to their views on pieces of gear. Thank goodness I did not buy the much raved about Hilleberg Akto which is 10 cm lower than the Terra Nova! No doubt similar problems could arise on, say pack reviews - I have rarely had a hip belt sit comfortably on my hips even when buying sacs with adjustable backs.

Could you rope in some taller people to help with the reviews, Cameron? And anybody under 6 foot want to buy what is an otherwise excellent tent???

Short in stature - I'm 5ft 11! Is that short?

According to Wikipedia - 5'9" is average for UK adults (2007 data). So Cameron, you'll be pleased to know that you are above average ;-)

Woops. Sorry Cameron! You are bigger in real life than in your photo! Although 5 foot 11 against 6 foot 3 in a tent with 90 -100cm height and 200 - 215 cm in length (soory to mix metric and imperail) may be important in terms of comfort.

Lucky at 5ft 9 I can fit into almost any tent lol
