They are decathlon owned brand so you wouldnt find them anywhere else! There are other brands but I dont think they get the same rave reviews these do. I bought one last year and love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember which though but the ensembles all agreed out across half the timeframe and it didn't shift 13 was pretty nailed on and dry on the approach.

NickM45 Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 It's been up and down, but has worked out. Enjoyed following this thread. Now the party can begin (at the drum n bass tent). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll be it then, thank god someone's memory is working today. IIRC the other 'certain in advance' year which may have been 15 there was rain predicted at the end of weekend that pushed back and back through the festival so we got out dry.

Stupid question....I have two foil blankets ready to go but I've been trying to figure out how I will get inside the tent to attach the foil to the inner and outersheets There's such a tiny gap! I await a really obvious response which reveals me as being the camping novice I am inside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I await a really obvious response which reveals me as being the camping novice I am inside I guess it depends how your tent is put together, but I intend to attach the foil to the outside of the inner tent before attaching the outer tent if that makes sense? Read a top tip on here to use pegs instead of duct tapes so will be trying that this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be easy enough! Have some clothes pegs and duct tape so fingers crossed it works! Did duct tape damage your tent at all when you used it before?

Bubblecup Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 (edited) https://www.ventusky.com/?p=51.2;-2.6;5&l=rain-3h&t=20190625/0000 only a couple of mm of rain showing for Pilton on Tuesday then nothing (uses the ICON weather model, if you animate it through it switches to GFS automatically further in the week) they temperatures look perfect, pleasantly warm days, nice warm evenings.
