Well aye it's a pretty essential item, but the idea is to post deals etc on these items

[FannyBaws]

If anybody finds any deals on a cheap pop-up tent i'd be very interested. Planning on trawling ebay in the next few weeks but if I can just buy one somewhere for cheap enough i'll probably just grab one, cheapest i've found so far is £30 but would like to try get one for a bit cheaper if possible, especially since I'll probably end up being too wasted to put it away and leave it up there.

Can't live without one of these.

We've never had any problems taking them in anywhere and how are you meant to make a fry up in the morning without one?

Well I have to get a pop up tent and a sleeping bag anyways, but Im really interested in this little item.
A set of tiny speakers with a large sound and 30 hr battery life. IMaingo portable ipod speakers, a wee bit pricier than the mp3 speakers mentioned earlier, but Im thinking of getting a set.
http://www.gearfuse.com/review-imaingo-por...-ipod-speakers/
Its a very nice size and I always walk about fests with the ipod on me (Dont leave it in yer tent!), but these speakers fit into a slim wallet with your ipod so very, very portable. Ive actually seen them cheaper on ebay and amazon than the price on the link.

Sunscreen and wellies, my ma laughs her ass off when she hears that.

And a hat for the baldies and the back of the head.

i can't reccommend gooutdoors enough! love that place. the one in coatbridge is massive and they have alot of the tents set up, so gives you a good idea of space and how you pitch them etc. cheap deals on all your accessories aswell like sleeping bags and stuff.. i'll probably get the majority of my camping stuff there from now on.
