Check out this tent!

[Chrisp1986]

Couldn't find a recent topic around tents so started this one as just found my 2020 tent. Great deal and usually over £300, now just £100. Cheap enough to leave at end of festival too! (I jest). Great deal though?

I like tents.

[Crazyfool01]

be warned its quite heavy at 19.5 kg ..

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

Nothing like a bit of tent porn. Mind you at 19.5kg plus all your other kit, it's going to be a tough one.

Agh, crazyfool1 beat me to it.

Ever since this site was down for twenty minutes or so yesterday you seem to be at a distinct advantage re the speed of posting. I am suspicious.

This is the tent we have used last 3-4 festivals, a little lighter but not hugely.

Probably has multiple devices all refreshing at the same time so he can reply to posts quicker.

A ballot for replying would be much fairer imo.

In the market for a tent able to accomodate 6 people and gear this year. Thoughts on this one?

I understand what you are saying, but don't really think there's anything suspicious about crazyfool1 posting what he said before I did. The truth of the matter is that at the time of my posting I was a little tiny bit stoned. What actually happened is that I was writing about the weight of the tent, and then crazy's post  dropped in to the equation. I was then given the choice of deleting my post or carrying on. I decided not only to press on with my post, but to then add another post indicating that I mustn't have seen crazy's post, when in fact, i had. The reasoning for this is because it was easier to do, rather than explain it all at the time. The time when I had absolutely no capacity to communicate.

This one is similar and quite a bit cheaper. I have a tent like it and it makes me want to die after carrying it from shed to car. Wishing you luck with getting it in.

Nice one for that, due to people posting links from Millets I spotted there was an extra 20% off so pounced on the tent we were looking at buying the other week. Cheers guys.
