had limited joy with fabsil before but i put that down to the wearing of the fabric i was trying to proof - just too past it! Is a footprint out of the question?

Is the tent worth getting the groundsheet replaced?

Its not actually that old, or well used I guess. Worth a try with fabsil for a tenner.

possibly yeah.

I'll try the fabsil first to see what happens though.
