quite a budget that.... £100... you could get something that doesnt leak for that! smile



Vix, try Blackwoods as a first option... you can get a 2-3 man tent for about £50 that'll last a good few years of use.

Camping and Leisure World in Frensham is good for proper tents, but you'll pay the full retail price. Some online bargains here but call them and find out what they actually have. The Khyam factory seconds are worth a look, the factory have will have made good any problems and they're easy to put up.

By any chance, is there still an empty tent pitched at the site from last year?

I've looked high and low for my tent but it's no where to be seen and I can't remember taking it down last year hehe

Looks like a last minute dash to Asda or something.

Had a trial run at putting my new tent up tonight.....glad I did and it's bloody mahoosive! I think you could swing the preverbial cat in it yes and I can even stand up in it!

Let's hope the rain holds off long enough to get the tents up!
