The camping essentials - I've found a bargain which you all need to know about thread...

If anyone can recommend decent airbed it would be appreciated, as sick of waking up on the floor during the night lol

I'd go with anything from Exped. Last year I had a Downmat, but the Synmat range also looks good.

These are brilliant. Comfortable and pack small. Even come with a repair kit.

Nice Stick a commode in there and you're set for the day.

[Spindles]

Please, don't even joke. It's bad enough that there are people who think that those fishing awnings are acceptable at a gig.

Up to 30 degrees hotter inside than out, Christ you would die!

[LondonTom]

I can imagine those little huts in a nice row directly at the entrance to the Pyramid 'pit' and getting tutted at as you knocked the person in them over to get past

[Mr Splodge]

Good tent at a good price.

Just beat me to it! Not sure whether it'll be honoured but worth a punt!

Seems like the worst fuck up ever on Amazon from reading the reviews.

[ukmountie]

Up to full price of £325 now. I got an order in, but doubt it will be honoured. Still you never know. If it isn't I'll complain to Amazon and probably get another free month or so of Prime, so it's all good.

Let us know how it goes. It would be great if you managed to get one of those tents at that price. Wickes the DIY store had a technical error on their website once. It meant that there was something like an hour in which people could buy major expense items at a fraction of the price. They sort of honoured the agreement in that they only stopped it when people from the depots were saying to head office why are we selling £400 power tools for a £10.

[ukmountie]

Canceled :-(

Actually not too bothered as it was a punt anyway. Now to complain to Amazon to try to get some free Prime.

In some ways it's a bit of a blessing in disguise. I have four tents already. One more might finally push the missus over the edge.

[donthaveacoolname]

Hi all,

Thanks for reporting back. I was also going to have a punt but came to the realisation that I just didn't need another tent regardless of price.

I did two years with something similar and have no complaints. They do cushon you against the bumps and also provide a thermal barrier to the cold. Just the thing if you have to travel part the way by plane - blow up air beds can be really heavy.

Cheers yog, I think I'll give it a go

[jeffie]

got this for glastonbury last year but have used it for many other things since, trips away etc. great to just leave your phone plugged into overnight and no need to join redicilous lines for `ee charge tents` etc its basically like the charging brick they were selling last year as the ee promo.....only this one has enough capacity to last for longer then 1-2 charges haha(at its best ive got about 5-6 charges out of it on a phone.....slightly less if charging my tablet as well) and its a good price!

Yup, this, or the Anker equivalent are great.

Takes all the pressure off, I needed to keep in touch with my wife and kids even during the debauchery..

This one came up on Hot UK Deals earlier, seems like a fairly good price too

[The Other Steve]

This looks a good deal - £22.90 for 22,000 MaH

Not so much camping, but JD is currently £15 in ASDA for the 700ml. This also includes JD Tennessee Honey, which I've stocked up on for Glastonbury

[LondonTom]

Got an email from Go Outdoors yesterday about a tent sale this weekend, if anyone is in the market!
