Quechua 2 Seconds Fresh III Tent - Where To Buy

[markmullen]

Does anyone know where I can get one of these?

Decathlon seem to be the only seller and whilst they have them in stock at Sheffield apparently I have to go through Stockport branch who don't have stock.

There's 2 branches of Decathlon in Le Mans, so you could always wait until you are down there. Probably cheaper too given the exchange rates currently.

Thanks but not the Fresh III model.

This may or may not help but there is a Decathlon just down the road from the Houx Annexe campsite. That stocked loadsa of Quechua tents. It's a desperate place to be but I guess you could try see if they had one in stock and picked it up when there? :-/

Stockport Decathlon had a load of pop up tents (five or six) tethered outside over the weekend (on a 1:1 grass bank - looked a bit like extreme camping) - maybe worth asking if they've an ex-display model they'll flog you at a discount?

45 degree bank, what's wrong with that? It's only to display the tents on.

Well I didn't stop and measure the gradient, however you can make your own mind up:-

If you have no Decathlon near you Google for a Trespass store...they have identicle tents on 50% offer at the moment

Was in there last week about three hundred yards or so from Tertre Rouge bend and they had so many tents on sale it was unbelievable.

ETA: here's the full choice:-

Mind you, looking at the local forecast for next week I'd spend an extra £20 and possibly go for this:-

Plenty of space for everything there.

Chaps, I am having a bit of a dilemma in which tent I should choose, I have been looking around and stuck between;

The Quechua 2 Seconds ii
http://www.decathlon.co.uk/2-seconds-ii-tent-id_80...

or

The Vango Gamma 200
http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/gamma-200-p183861

Does anyone have any thoughts?

I have narrowed it down to these two because I know that Vango are a good brand and the one I have found looks pretty well priced and the Quechua one also seems well priced and is one of those pop up jobbies.

We bought a quechua 4 seconds ii, the quality is really good. Very easy to put up and down and pretty waterproof over a rather soggy bank holiday w/e

eBay it, found one straight away and I'm on my iPhone in Lanzarote, come on, embrace the web!

Thanks for the response davidd, I decided in the end to go for the Vango as it was more spacious than the 2 seconds ii, cheaper and closer to me in terms of going to pick it up.

my other tent is a vango, and whilst that sounds like a very sad bumper sticker it is true. Awesome bit of kit but it is huge and takes about and hour to get up and down.. Will sleep 10 though

Haha it does rather! I hope this tent I have bought doesn't take an hour to put up, however I am admittedly, pretty useless so who knows!
