I can't find one in any stores, Tacklebox reckon they'll have stock mid April. Worth checking you local Angling Direct, even though the website says out of stock my local had a few in when I was after one.

First weekend in it went well, small amount of condensation but no drips. Although I did have the full infill on and had a candle bivvy heater going and worked a charm!

Regarding condensation...
I knew I would be fishing through the last big storm and wanted to be on the end of it, but not under any overhead trees for obvious reasons! I treated myself to the infill for the 100T having only ever used it as a brolly type shelter in the past.
After this weekend at -1C I can confirm the following findings;
Infill in with door open - condensation
Infill removed so just the brolly - no condensation
I don't bother with a groundsheet. If you don't want condensation don't mess about with doors and panels on the front, have it completely open and its dry as a bone.

That's asking far to much of today's camping anglers.

Good insight, I opted for warmth over caring about condensation with it being so cold haha

Doesnt a ground sheet help reduce condensation?

Possibly, but I don't use one. In summer they are pointless and in winter they just get caked in mud. My point was if you don't have a front on your shelter you don't need one.

The one thing I missed was having a small loop at the top for a hiccup light.

Theres always use for a groundsheet when rain is forecast, im sat out in the pissing rain bow, and without my groundsheet, this small stream running under it, would have drenched all my bags

Don't put your bags in the bit with the stream?
If it's raining that heavy then it's also coming in the front, and I'd rather it soak into the ground than puddle up on a sheet of plastic.
If people want to carry a groundsheet around it's up to them, I'm just saying if you don't have a front on a brolly you don't need one to stop condensation.

The power of hindsight and all that. But with the ground sheet, i didnt need to worry about it. Its hardly heavy, and folds flat on the barrow under my bedchair
Top of the groundsheet is bone dry. And why would water running down a slope come in the front? Its wasnt pooling up, it was running under the groundsheet, down towards the lake

Runy rain, I don't believe it next you'll be telling us it was wet rain and it didn't stick to delkim.
