Its thursday and i have no tent, no idea which car i'm taking, no supplies..
Is this bad?
I've got a spare tent if you want to borrow it....4 person jobby, so could be handy if you get any action
Please note the 4 person bit, hopefully to avoid any man action retribution!

Nothing like being organised eh Vixpy1, I would Argos it if I were you! Lots of tents at reduced prices, sleeping bags etc... etc..
Or go to Halfords... they have rebranded Gellert tents... for a good price.
Argos tents didnt get a good rep last year with the camping forums.
talking of tents .. if like me, you don't use it that often, might be worth checking it before you set off. Mine was slightly damp (oh Lord there's plenty for you to go out here Vix ) before it was put away last time and smelled a bit mildewy to say the least - it is currently flapping in the breeze in the sunshine in an attempt to air it!

Incidentally, if anyone needs a sleeping bag or two, Millets are doing a deal on Eurokhike Adventurer II 200 sleeping bags. 2 for £30. They're two season mummy bags available in either left or right side zip so you can buy one of each and join them together. They should be good enough for this time of year, especially as we plan to use our old double sleeping bag opened out like a duvet on top for extra warmth.

You may well find its waterproofing qualities are now severely reduced.
Did that once myself you see!

Just find a TVR owner... they'll have some Thompsons water seal... or fabsil.. or a hood cover... (no you can't borrow my hood cover!)
