I just bought this for some upcoming winter wild camps. It's been reduced on Terra Nova's website to £630. Much better price. Looking forward to using it. Great vid. Cheers

Great review of a fantastic tent. I can’t believe I cancelled my order of the Cross 1 a few years ago because I didn’t want to pay the £250 it was on offer for at the time. Can’t believe how much they have gone up

Always a great review 👍

Fantastic tent this. I've owned both the 1 and 2 but it's absolutely comical that terra nova have put a £900 RRP on this now. There are way better tents in every way than this available for hundreds of pounds less. Thanks for the review though, really enjoy these videos 😊

It's a fantastic tent but well over priced. Been using it for 5 years or so, the flanks catch moderate wind big time could do with extra guys on them. Like you mentioned tho it's a great 2 person tent. I picked it up for £320 new

Nice video mate, thanks. A friend of mine has that same tent for use in New Zealand, and he is very fond of it.

Very well put together video they really improved that interior ! Looks like a Palace

Thanks for the review. The poles need to be connected at the top for a better structure - I imagine it twists when its windy, putting extra stress on the outer... £900 plus £75 for footprint! What????

A serial owner of Trisar, Quasar and Hyperspace I have no issue with quality but, I do not like the fact the outer door does not have a fixing to stop it flapping, it does not easily allow cooking whilst in the rain and the inner door stowage to the side is a faff. Plus it looks cold if there is a lot of wind for a 4 season tent with no option to close off the mesh

Great vid Andy, I always put my poles together first before rolling out the tent and wondered why most people don't. If it's really windy or speed is needed for an inner pitch first in rain it has to be better surely?

Wow! That’s too much dosh. I would buy a Hilleberg. I will stick to my pioneer and star light. Great review Andy!

The SC2 is a cracking tent its at £630 now, i still prefer my northern lite 2. But in fairness in the uk unless your smashing mountains in Scotland a lot, your better off just Sticking with the Wild country units there solid and can take a battering and save a packet! Probably why there rarely in stock 😅

What brand/model is the pile zip jacket you're wearing?

Another first class objective review Andy. I was waiting forever for this tent to come into stock but sadly it never arrived. I’m hoping the new pegging point will reduce the sagging and flapping the large panel was prone to seeing. In truth I can’t see the new vent on the fly to know if it is any use or just a marketing pitch. Perhaps you could get TN to better display this. However the weight increase and shear cost is making me have second thoughts. I wanted a 2 person tent as a single person to give me some space especially during bad weather on long trips but weight is an issue, that’s why I never jumped at an Allak at 3.3kg. Perhaps the Pioneer 2 is a better compromise.

I have identical but other brand tent 2P. It is fantaatic and very wind resistant. I used it on GR20 two yeaes ago and had survived 180 km/h wind gust... others with Nemos, MSRs were wiped away literary. I bought it for 120€ some years ago but then price ibcreased to 200€. Still of my favourite tents. It is spacius, so I bought 1P version which is roomy and 500 g lighter.

Great review! Not related to the tent but, I noticed how you've laced your boots up. I'm very much a newbie to wild camping hiking etc and just wondered if there's a reason for it. I've noticed it quite a few times when looking at different uploads of people camping Oh, and for the record, I don't have a boot fetish!! 😂😂😂😂

Just about to bite the bullet & buy the one man version.

does anyone know what material those clips on the red pole are made of?

I too have just bought this for £630. I did my research, looked at scores of tents, and settled on this one. I have to say I am delighted with my choice. Yes, it's a lot of money, but it will do everything I need it to, and with a bit of love/luck, it will last me years. It is soooo simple to pitch and pack away, luxuriously spacious for one, and instils confidence no matter where I camp or what the weather's doing. If you can love a tent, I love the Southern Cross 2.

Great review Andy, But a grand lol. I think Terra Nova are dreaming....

Great review,been looking at this tent and the pioneer 2 which one would you go for cheers

Great review Andy 👍 Love the look of that bad boy. However that is so much money ! Cheers Graham

Just too expensive regardless of how good it is. Too me, the poles are also too skinny. Thank you for another excellent review.

Nice review. Would you take this or the MSR? Or something else?

Great looking tent. My ferrino force 2 does the same job for a few extra grams and a whole lot less cash. Does anyone else use the ferrino force 2?.

More importantly, what fleece is that? 👌

I wish Terra Nove tents were displayed somewhere for me to look at. I want a tent for solo winter camps. More space for activities than 1 person. Only 1 entrance to reduce footprint. 4 season. Inner + outer pitch. Plenty of ventilation. looked at the Voyager. This ticks boxes but too pricey

Hi, do you think the 2023 updates to the tent are significant? I can buy an end of the line 2022 one for 80 quid less than the 2023 one and i wondered if you thought that was worth it? Its also interesting how the updates made the tent heavier, which might be another reason to buy a 2022 model?

How much! At that price I don’t get it , it’s not lightweight and I wouldn’t class it 4 season either .

Hey Andy, great review. I'm looking to either get this tent or the Northern Lite 2. Can you tell me how you got the internal height to be 120cm? Terra Nova's site has it down as 98cm. I'd rather your version, obviously, 😉 but simply looking for some clarity. Space matters! Now £630 new, which is still a lot but achievable.

That blue pole in the middle of the vestibule would get on my nerves!! The bathtub walls are tiny!!

Dream tent

£900? Not going to happen I'm afraid. At that price 'id expect it to put itself up. Great review as always though.

The new wild country panacea looks like the same basic design, ease of pitch and size fir considerably less cash, though the materials are not as technical.

£900 what a joke it's worth £350 tops some mugs will buy it though😆😆

That is a mad price for these Southern Cross' now, even on offer. I got a brand new Southern Cross 1 on offer in 2018 and I could sell it second hand now at a small profit. Madness

Nice tent but WAY overpriced!! Sorry, £500 max!

Lovely piece of kit but Terra Nova have but an unrealistic price tag on it ! Great review as always.

Same price as a Hilleberg Soulo? You've got to be kidding!?

I think thats a blunder making the tent heavier just for the sake of a few features that are not really important. You have to pay more money for that even though you may not want those features.

The cost is prohibitive. I can get a comparable DCF tent for less that will weigh 1/4 what this weighs.

They took away the option to zip up the mesh doors then rammed the price up the price is ridiculous. Way way overpriced should be half that price

Hi Andy, great review, Thanks mate. Its a nice tent but wayyy overpriced I think, I'd stick with my amazing Helm 1 and 2. Both brilliant and great value quality tents. Although I really like Terra Nova tents, one design flaw that really bugs me, why have a white inner??? Put it this why, you wouldn't buy white underpants for the same reason! :} Why not take a leaf out of Vangos book with that lovely orange, not only will that colour resist stains more but in the morning sun, its so much easier on the eyes. I'd say come on Terra Nova, white!?? Its not rocket science...lol

Great review as always but that tent is a rip off ! 3 x the price it should be wow who would buy this at the price? They’ve shot themselves in the foot with the pricing £350-£400 people would snap them up

Its great tent ,But to expensive.....

Without a snow skirt it is not a four season tent.
