DarrenVonBoathook Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 For those that leave it all to the last minute, Lidl have a special on a few camping bits today https://www.lidl.co.uk/en/MiddleofLidl.htm?id=1063&week=1 Assuming its the same one, the inflatable camping mat has previously got some good reviews, especially at the price.

JC-Mo'Fucka Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 Any recommendations for roll up camping mats? Mine died and looking to get a replacement. Happy to pay the price if it's decent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine died and looking to get a replacement. Happy to pay the price if it's decent! My local Lidl have still got the Crivit Lightweight Camping Mats in stock. Google them to find out what they are. I know several people who've bought them on my recommendation and none have been disappointed. Plus, they're a small fraction of the price of similar offerings from posh camping brands. You'll need to be quick though - they were on a special a couple of weeks ago so will be getting taken off the shelves any time now. Edited July 13, 2019 by Mark E.

Happy to pay the price if it's decent! I got a Thermarest self inflating mat a few years ago, packs up tiny and sleep like a log on it. Well worth the investment (disclaimer, I'm not long or heavy) Therm-a-Rest ProLite Mattress Regular https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00NW2W5VK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_ySDkDbHVYXQQJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEGATRONICMEATWAGON Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 Just saw the prices for tobacco now in the UK - https://www.betterretailing.com/tools-and-insights/pricewatch-30-november-2018-rolling-tobacco/ Bought a pouch of tobacco for three euros today in Germany, without a doubt if you're a smoker and you're going on holiday between now and Glasto 2020, buy some backy/cigs and store them away for the festival. If you and your friends all smoke you can easily go through a pouch a day between you (as my friends and I have in the past). Savings could be huge and does away with having to find a stall/shop that sells tobacco on site! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemons Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 Can anyone recommend a 2 man tent for less than £80 available in a high street shop? I need one for this weekend and heavy rain is forecast on at least 1 day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topmarksbri Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 I've got an inflatable tent which I love but a giant pump which I don't. Anyone come across one smaller for tents? Everything else I seem to find isn't suitable (I presume it's something to do with PSI's) - anyone got any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it one of those Quechua fresh n black tents with a massive bright red Quechua pump thingo? i tried a couple of other pumps and they really weren't working. I think its the fitting that's the issue, plus the 'need' to have it between 5 and 7 psi, which you cant check with a normal common or garden pump. Its bloody annoying cos the Quechua pump is bloody huge, and you only need it for about 90 seconds in total. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at electric alternatives and they all have to be plugged to mains - extremely frustrating! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balti-pie Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 i've got a battery one which i've had for years, so i thought i'd have a bash at trying to put the tent up using that first off so's i didn't have to spend the £15 on the big red beast - the fitting appears to fit ok, but i think the air doesn't come out at enough of a force to keep the little aperture thing open. Had to get the £15 thing anyways. So now when festivalling i take the big red pump, and my little battery pump - i'm like a strange pump nonce, basically ? but when all my stuff is up and sorted, i can become the air fairy and help everyone around me with their pumpy needs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
