Does this tent look ok?

[tortoise]

here
I think it will fit DS1 and DS2 in one room and DD1,DD2 and I in the other. Bit wary of having separate rooms but i can't find anything cheap with one room to sleep 5!

Well, the tent arrived today. I put it up in the garden and it is all ok. I couldn't work out the small roof support pole though. It says to put through white O rings and put the ends into small mesh pockets. i can't see any little pocket there! Anyone have any idea? (Will probably start a new thread/ask tent seller!)
I can stand up in it very easily and i put it together alone quite quickly. It is pretty heavy though!

[Peachy]

A lot of people rave about those inflatable mats you know, and they are lighter

[tortoise]

That doesn't sound too bad.
Will pop into millets tomorrow after we see simpsons movie at the cinema! I can see how they feel weight wise if they have any.

I think the air beds are around 2kg for a single airbed.

[tortoise]

I hadn't thought about pushchair... I would possibly take the stroller. Assume room to store it in the tent....
Probably stay mainly on the Haven site i expect. With a trip to the beach.

What about these www.outdoormegastore.co.uk/acatalog/Self_Inflating_Mats_Outwell.html

[ScoobyDooooo]

Will you have a pushchair with you? would be bit easier if you could put things on the pushchair too?

[tortoise]

4 nights.
I did look at those but they don't look very comfy lol! Light to carry though i know.
I was thinking single air beds for the boys and a double/king air bed for the girls and me.
no idea how heavy an air bed is. Are they really heavy? Plus a little foot pump thing.

How long you going for?

How about the camping leisure mats in arogs £4.99 each here www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ArgosBrowseLister?storeId=10001&catalogId=150000070 1&zone=&giftFinder=&langId=-1&attrValue0=&attrValue1=&attrValue2=&attrValue3=&attrValue4=&price From=&priceTo=&attrName0=&attrName1=&attrName2=&attrName3=&attrName4=&TOTrail=&categoryId=15000 06335&Trail=C%24cip%3D1500006333%3EC%24cip%3D1500006334%3EC%24cip%3D1500006335&previousperPage=10&pe rPage=10&currPage=1&sortBy=2&x=5&y=14

[tortoise]

miss out i mean!

[tortoise]

All done!
I got scared i would miss.
I now have a tent. Now need to think about if we need airbeds or not...

Anyone need a 4 person tent? have the old one to sell! Used once in the garden! Bit small for 5!

[ScoobyDooooo]

I think it sounds like a bargain it says "excellent condition" & also says it has only been used for 4 days in dry weather. Saving of £35 if you go for buy it now"!

[tortoise]

Thanks peachy. Hope its in good condition...

[Peachy]

For £55 inc. postage, I'd buy it now I think

you'd still be saving a good few quid
