Tent

[smutchie]

Bought my tent on Sunday....she's a beauty!

£20 Tesco, and to be honest it's a pile of shit. But, it'll do!

I say buy them up now, because they'll no doubt put the prices sky high come the end of the month. Got groundmats too, woo!

Hmm i've been temted to go for a cheapy tent this year, buuut have decided to get a slightly dearer one. I don't suppose anyone is a master in the art of tent buying that could point me in the right direction for one? I would like to say thank you in advance

Oh yea, sorry lef that quite open. I'm looking for a 2/3 man tent and willing to pay anything between 60 and 100 for it - maybe more, not fussed on style or anything though!

Took a cheap 8 quid tent to rockness last year, Done the job.

Got one of those pop up tents for it this year. TBH they are designed for festivals.

Cant go wrong there.

Mines a single skinner - Does the job

[ampersand]

Does the job, unless you get anything more than a light shower! I've always taken shite tents to festivals and so far have been lucky but it's like playing a game of Russian Roulette!

However this year I wont be camping in the normal campsite witht he peons and have instead opted for posh camping.

I saw them as a support band long time ago! One of my fav gigs!

Ha not in favour!

I dont think they would suit Rockness at all! The money they would spend on someone like that could be much better spent.

[ampersand]

No DJ's.

I'd spend the loot on something like:-

Some Cut Copy, The Knife, Teddybears, Sac & Pip, Passion Pit, Little Boots etc would all have been nice!

went to gooutdoors in coatbridge today and got the three man version of this tent. it's about the same size as a four man and it'll be really easy to pitch. was only £39.

they had some great tents there, they had a massive 8 man beast of a tent for £60.
