We had a thread last year where everybody posted which tents/gazebos etc they were taking and one for people with campervans, couldn't find them so with only 8 weeks to go I think we should have a new joined up one. Post pictures of what you will be staying in on here or want to be in, questions about what to get, deals etc :)

I'll start...

My friend who has never been to a festival wanted a cheap bundle of camping stuff so he got this...

This is my brand new sparkly tent, got it for £50 in the winter sales. My tesco tent got a bit bent out of shape after 5 years of use, so it's my first time having a 'brand' tent. Looks a beaut.

Can't decide whether to use this:

Gelert 6 man Skydome(£50 ebay last year)

P1020956.jpg

or this: Campus Montego 4-man(£23 ebay this year)

Gelerts got a larger sleeping area but the living space in the Montego much bigger?

Couldn't manage without this:

or my bungee net to go over it

Found this:

And this is worth its weight in gold clipped to the outside of the tent (no tent sauna)emergency-tent.jpg

also poundland got some great little solar post lamps for a quid each - weigh nothing and great for light up camp area.

Theese are good for charging phones, running 12v tent lights, powering radio, ect. but useless for powered cooler

Here is why

[geekery]

This site puts says that battery has a capacity of 17Ah (Amp Hours) this would be in perfect condition and with a full charge.

I don't know much about powered coolers but halfords has this one that I'll use to illustrate the point and that has a power rating of 40W (Watts) to get the current (amp) rating for this we need to use the formula Watt÷Volts (in this case it is a 12v cooler) so it will have a current rating of 3.3˚ A

Now a battery with a 1Ah (Amp Hour) rating will power a device with a 1A current rating for 1 hour so in the case of the cooler and battery linked the battery will power the cooler for approx. 5 [17÷3.33} hours. so in short not worth bothering with any kind of powered cooler at glasto unless of course your in a camper with several very large(and very heavy) leisure batteries

This was the smallest footprint tent I could find that allowed me to stand up in - a little bit big for 1, but allows me to have a double airbed! OK so I am old and my bones creak, doesn't mean I cant go to Glastonbury does it? :unsure:
