Wow, that is cheap. I've decided that as it's just me I'll stick with the cheapy Eurohike 2-man dome I've had for about 6 years. It's still waterproof and I've put it up single handed in 40mph winds, so even if the worst happens I think it'll do the job biggrin

taken from the 'are you ready thread' incase this is a help to anyone:-

grabbed a bargain today from Argos.
at the weekend i got a flyer through the door with an Argos sales leaflet inside, on offer is a 4 man tent reduced from £44 to £22....below are the pics of before and after.
theres shed loads of room inside.

took me about 15mins to rough set it up, to do a proper job on my own will probably take no more than 20mins.

code if anyone is interested in what i believe is a good tent and a fackin bargain at £22 is:- 340/9770

Ta, that'll do nicely. Reserved one so a quick pop to the land of the laminated book of dreams and the terry toweling tracksuit in the morning for me.

Bugger.

I've got one of those as well. Hope I get in the right one when I'm half cut at any point during the trip.

that's a very good point.
think we should buy some bright spray paint and colour code our own tents.

imagine waking up in the morning with someone laying there that isn't supposed to, to quote a line from the film 'Trains planes and Automobiles'
"they're not cushions" heh heh heh

Anyone know of a roof rack for a 996 Turbo!
