Chrisp1986 Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 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? https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0765GNS6F/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoghurt on a Stick Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisp1986 Posted October 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 This is the tent we have used last 3-4 festivals, a little lighter but not hugely. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gelert-Cabana-4-Tent/dp/B004SKYCTI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a6l6e6x Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 In the market for a tent able to accomodate 6 people and gear this year.

I am suspicious. 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukethekid Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
