We got 4 of them about 3 years ago, 3 are still going strong and Im 16+ stone, you just have to check the screws are still in before use (thats how one of them broke)

The proper thick, good quality baby wipes are only £1 in superdrug at the mo. Lovely for a tentbath!

Agreed

Not a tip but something I'm looking for. A few years ago Aldi or Lidl (I always get confused between the two) had Prosecco in cans. Tolerably drinkable and gets round the no glass rule. I've not seen it for a while but their offers tend to be seasonal. If anyone spots any please advise.

Here are some pretty cheap walking boots if anyone needs some for this year.

They do some wellies too but we wont be needing them this year (prays to weather gods).

Those three legged stools look good for transporting, although make good YouTube clip attempting to stand up quickly on one.. At a pound it's worth a punt

Should've added what the link is for really; womens goretex walking boots for £40 delivered, bargainalicious.

[coma girl]

That is a great deal, if I hadn't just bought new walking shows I'd have grabbed them.

[bucko]

have a browse at this shop they sell all the stuff that gets returned to go outdoors.http://stores.ebay.co.uk/alchemisticltd/Camping-/_i.html?_sacat=16034&_sid=884012006&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322

some of it might be ok for festivals. i got a tent from them and can't find anything wrong with it. the tent was listed as may need reproofing but its fine.

I've had two of those that have collapsed at festivals. More trouble than they're worth. Go for a folding table and some camping chairs.

Not sure if it's common knowledge so apologies if I am teaching you all to suck eggs, but Go Outdoors offer a price match (and will beat a cheaper price by 10%.) So, browse their website, find what I want, do a quick search online for a cheaper price (any website but auction sites count) and then head to the shop with the cheaper website details. I saved £50 on a Berghaus gore-tex coat and £40 on Berghaus walking boots. Happy shopping

Batise Dry Shampoo is £1.49 (half price) in Superdrug at the moment, and Huggies baby wipes are £1 in Boots.
