Is an excellent place to get waterproofs and backpacks, £25 for a brilliant 100 litre bergen is a steal

I'm looking at getting a cheap mobile with a long battery life rather then taking my iPhone 4! Can anyone recommend one in the region of £10-£15?

This is the best one on O2 but how easy is it to unlock phones from other networks to accept my O2 SIM card??

good idea, guypjfreak..

any suggestions of what and from where most welcomed.

The reason that I have to force myself to only go on amazon once a month

I want a new pop up tent becuase I'm lazy and generally incapable of putting up tents (the result of living in a city my entire life and having non-outdoorsy friends/family). I've seen on here before that Quechua are generally accepted to be the best but was wondering where I can get them from that isn't decathalon? My nearest one is a way away and don't seem to have great stock, but somewhere online?

Here you go.

Decathlon site

[wweerr208]

A good site to regularly visit for bargains is hotukdeals.co.uk

you possibly need to search for specific items such as tents etc.. since the site is very generic about any bargains

Buy the kids version of Hunters - half the price! Just check the calf size (which is on Hunter website). I wear them, and the length is shorter which is much better IMO

[Leynaar]

Was thinking about getting something a bit more sturdy than a trolley to lug all the booze from the car park this year, any suggestions?

Poundland emergency shelter £1 - clip outside of tent = no tent sauna

[CarlCUFC]

I was just wondering if anyone knows where is the best place to look for a pair of waterproof pants?

Something not to expensive but good quality. Thanks

[formed a band]

best advice I ever had for a chap

a big 2 litre wide neck conditioner bottle

for middle of the night number ones. better than falling over tents in the dark

I bought one of these today:

£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.

I got a Rucksack from Aldi, of all places, it accompanied me to two festivals and sits with me now as i speak, cracking little thing for £22, 65L and spaces galore.. they go on sale at end of may, start of june.

[Strummer74]

I for one will be purchasing a space blanket.

Friend had one last year over tent and swore by it.

If it means not waking up in microwave conditions in a pool of your own sweat for a fiver you can't go wrong.

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

Is it three at a squeeze or comfortably three that tent? Seems to be conflicting reviews. We've got a three man at the moment, but could do with a new one.

[HurrahBrother]

Depends on the 3

The porch is reasonably generous, and you have about 6 by 6 feet of usable sleeping space.
