let's 'ave it!!! Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 this thread should come in handy, need a new tent this year after mine finally gave way and split after 5 festivals!...not bad for a tesco value one! although it did leak a little in 2009 and at IOW 2010! but i'm looking for something a bit better quality and something that will hopefully last, but don't want to pay over the odds, any suggestions are welcome!

fatyeti24 Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 good idea, guypjfreak.. im in need of a new rucksack this year - the last fell apart once i got home last year (good timing though, it made it back up north!). any suggestions of what and from where most welcomed.

mike46 Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 I could do with a decent trolley, had a box type one the last 2 years with small wheels, fine in the dry but IF/WHEN it's raining I'll need a better one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spindles Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 I bought one of these today: http://www.millets.co.uk/product/093129/eh-avon.html £32 for a tent that is usually 3 times the price! Bargain. I already own one and it has done many festivals, however last year my daughter and I decorated it to look like a tortoise, so I decided that for £32 I would buy a replacement 'sans tortoise' These are great tents, took some heavy rain on Thurs/Fri at glasto 2009, no worries.

Mardy Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Was feeling flush so done my f**king brains on good quality camping/outdoor stuff this week. Now checking my bank balance and regretting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spindles Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Ah, good quality camping gear is an investment for years to come. Always money well spent imo. I used to do festivals in a poundstretcher tent (£9.99!) and cannot believe that I spent so many nights suffering now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
