Spindles Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 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...
sjp61 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Does anyone know what these Teepee's are like http://www.amazon.co.uk/Vango-Juno-500-Man-Tent/dp/B0045Y0QPQ/ref=sr_1_27?s=sports&ie=UTF8&qid=1299678090&sr=1-27 ?? I quite fancy the Idea of being able to stand up before venturing out in the mornings! My old knees made a graceful exit out of my tent last year almost impossible!!

lucyginger Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 If you're after waterproof trousers, try the biggest size in the childrens section. They fitted me fine (I'm not particularly tiny) and were less than half the price of the adult ones! That was Oswald Baileys, by the way.

thesecretingredientiscrime Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 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...
sjp61 Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 From what I've seen of these teepee tents they always look saggy and collapsed by the end of the festival. Not sure if this is because all the guy ropes have been tripped over and pulled out or what. But you can get standard dome tents that are plenty tall enough to stand in. Out tent broke beyond repair last year (nothing to do with me allegedly falling straight through it head first on the 1st night back to the tent ). Anyway on the Sunday afternoon when everyone left we stayed to avoid the traffic and 'recycled' this tent which was left behind - http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_745505_langId_-1_categoryId_236906 We've used it since and it's plenty tall enough to stand up in the middle section. Even the bedroom sections are tall enough to just stoop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachmac Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 The cheapest I found unlocking (in the local market) was a tenner, so you're probably best off buying the cheapest Nokia you can find on your network. Or look on eBay for second hand unlocked phones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markeee Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 I bought one of these today: http://www.millets.c...29/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.

Liam13th Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 3 things that i shall NOT be forgetting this year.. 1. Airbed, i just cant cut sleeping on the ground anymore. 2. Torch, I didn't take any sort of in-tent lighting, and it drove me mad trying to find things at night. 3. Space Blanket, to prevent 8 am boil in the bag wake-ups.

The Nal Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I second that, Saturday morning i was up at 6.30 in a poole of sweat with a bangin head and not even a solo shower under the water tap (no queue) could save me!! do they work?

MyTwistedWords Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I had to lay in a semi conscious state under our gazebo for 5 hours. And still felt like shit when I woke up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam13th Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 (edited) Also if you freeze some beers and put them under your ground sheet wrapped in a space blanket, they WILL stay cool for the whole weekend. But this does mean you will have to take an airbed to prevent a sore back. Edited March 17, 2011 by Liam13th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
