payneruk Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 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?? http://shop.o2.co.uk/mobile_phone/specification/LG/GS101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strolling wanderer Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wweerr208 Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubblepopelectric Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlCUFC Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saratink Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 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.

saratink Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 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 Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesecretingredientiscrime Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurrahBrother Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Depends on the 3 The porch is reasonably generous, and you have about 6 by 6 feet of usable sleeping space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
