things to buy

[alanr]

Field & Trek (who have gone sooo down-market I couldn't believe it) are selling off muck=boot style wellies (neoprane uppers) for £8 reduced from £50! Bought a pair for my wife.

My tent poles mysteriously got lost (didn't we all?) at Glastonbury last year and never found their way back to me and I really need to get hold of some more before I go camping next weekend... I don't want to buy a new tent because

1. My tent is awesome

2. My tent has loads of really ace drawings in

3. My tent is a 2 man that you can fit 13 in

4. Poles will most likely be cheaper than a whole new tent

5. There's a strange porthole to another dimension located on the far right corner

It is a Eurohike Kent type tent, I have looked online for poles but have failed miserably so any help on locating some, or just what sizes I need, would be greatly appreciated

You can buy poles at pretty much all the high street chains.

If they're the whippy fibreglass type, then you can cut them to length with a hacksaw.

I'm fine finding the poles but I need to know the lengths. If I can't find them though I shall be whipping out the hacksaw.

Have you tried Go Outdoors as they sometimes have odd sets of tent poles which they will sell you at reasonable prices?

[strolling wanderer]

Yep with no luck

Right then well why not try contacting Millets directly via email:

Just read a very good review for the notebook bbq, saying it is ideal for festivals and camping etc in todays "i" newspaper.

If there are large group of you going, it looks very tempting and quite cheap too.

This is the greatest tent ever created! Mines had 5 years of hard use including 5 Glastos and lots of camping trips. Its very spacious for a 2 man. Its stood up to wind, rain, snow and in the blisteting conditions last year with the many openings remaind cool. Its light weight, easy to put up, has a massive porch they can also be found cheaper than the price on the link. I only paid £40 5 years ago.

i'm looking for a cheap solar charger possibly attached to backpack(saw one last year in the crowd)

i had a small pink one that was amazing for quickly recharging camera but its finally died so any suggestions greatly appreciated.

[Bisque]

Not a bad price

[bennyboi]

I need to lay my hands on a spare battry to take fully charged, medium sized cool box, nitrous oxide chagers and because its going bastard hot again may invest in a couple of clip on solar powered fans to AC my tent.

Long thick socks to stop your wellies chafing - not that we are going to have rain this year

We got some walking boots from Sports Direct, super sturdy and comfy. They are Karrimor ones and were reduced from about £80 to £20. They seem to have sales on stuff on the time in there.

[mj2004]

ive just got a pair of karrimors from here http://www.sportsdirect.com/karrimor

I should have read this page properly instead of scanning it, then I would have seen your post Me and my husband got ourselves some Karrimors from here too. Much better for day to day stomping then wellies imo. (unless of course you get 2005 all over again )
