i would say you would die in that if anything like the biblical thunder storms should arrise again this year like in 2005. I would only buy this for a beach party in the summer hot months. deffo a no no, i got mine for 44 quid off ebay a gelert tornado 4, it will do the job. you can get a decent tent for around 40 quid these days.

If you are looking for a cheap tent, my friend got this one which she used in 2007 and 2008. It kept out the rain and she stayed dry. Not sure if it would have been OK n 2005 rain but certainly OK in 2007/2008 rain. http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/part...ext%3ETENTS.htm

PS. It sucks that you've got no cash at the moment but it's worth scraping a bit more together. This tent will last you a year, two years tops. Even a very basic dome tent with an inner should last you 10 years or more if you look after it (which *is* possible even at festivals).

Example for £35 - nothing special about this one, but it ticks all the boxes:

I really can't be arsed with my normal pitch tent, and Quechua look like the only pop-up tents worth buying

Thats what I'm taking. I pitched it the day I got it, took all of 5mins, left it up for 5 days, one of which it pissed it down overnight, and it was dry as a bone inside. Fantastic value.

[chuckley]

hell to the no!!!!!!!!!

it doesnt offer ANY information on the specs of the tent and that video shows u just how cheap and crap it is.

u can buy a decent double lined tent for cheaper than that (sales). the pop up ones are tripe and cost over the odds.

i cant believe how thin that piece of crap is.

Tell me about it Al. I'm going to make the trek to London one day to get my Quechua.

I wrote to Decathlon and asked them about mail order; they said it was something they are considering, and contingent on a central warehouse or some such thing.

Hello all,

Sorry for the hijacking of this thread but didn't think twas worth making a new one.

Millets have a deal on at the moment where most items are buy one get one half price.

So, for footwear I have stuff to wear if the weather is nice, and wellies for if it is awful, but I think I need some heavy duty boots for 'inbetween' weather...

So I have seen these http://www.millets.co.uk/footwear/men/product/083004.html .

Also, I am after a new tent, needs to fit just me (hate sharing!!) but need room as well as don't like being so cramped. So...

http://www.millets.co.uk/camping/tents/3-4...uct/096021.html seems to fit the bill?

I can get both of these (with teh offers on the website for a little over 60 quid. Just looking to see if anyone a bit more in the know can tell me whether this is a good deal? and if they are going to be good enough to do the job.

Thanks in advance

Argos have also reduced prices on a lot of camping gear so it's well worth checking out. My Pro-action tent has been to Leeds fest 3 times and I've never had a problem with it, withstood heavy rain and plenty of space (the green and cream coloured 4 man Pro Action two bedroom tent).

In regards to your boots, I imagine with the steel toe-cap and the strengthened sole, they will weight a ton!! wouldnt imagine you'll get much movement in them either for walking about.

The tent looks similar to the one i had last year (eurohike kent)... superb wee tent, I was just about able to sit in the porch area.
