Need a strong, but light reasonably priced 5 man tent

[bensmum3]

Any suggestions please ?

I have one you can borrow - I am in Cambs/Suffolk. It has a posh porch and all that jazz.

It was a little excessive for Glastonbury but we never lost it once!

That's very kind of you Libb, but I was really wanting to buy one as dd is keen to do camping in the garden this year , and we are hoping to do a couple of weekends away.What make/ style is yours please?

SallyStrawberry's the girl to ask about tents

I knew it would be right up your street, SS - you didn't disappoint

She couldn't resist it!

Got to be Halfords. We got a 5 man tent from there last year for about £70. It's a Gelert Cadiz 5, and it's exactly the same as a much more expensively priced vango one, only without the name label. It's fab! We've used ours loads, and it's never leaked or caused us any problems. This includes camping during a storm in Mid Wales in October- we were all toasty warm and snug.

Thankyou, I'm off to look at Argos, Outdoor megastore and halfords
