All - popped into my local Tesco last night and spotted that they have a range of camping gear in their "seasonal" section.

The camping chairs and windbreak look pretty good and a good price, am wondering if anyone has got them and what they think of them?

(unfortunately the windbreak is a bit of a strange design, but if it is decent then I can put up with the design!!)

Ive just been to aldi this morning and bought a 3 storey kitchen unit for 15 quid,  same one at argos is £25, perfect height for the stove, and folds away into its own good quality carry case, (bargain)

Did,nt see any, but they do have some decent roofboxes in (side opening, double lock) seem ok for £80.

I bought the windbreak from Tesco,about £7 pounds i think and it was hopeless !!

Really difficult to put up and keep up so i ended up buying a cheap stripey one from the beach shop.But on the bright side i now have spare upright poles which i used to make a porch on my Oregon 4 and have a few spare steel pegs too !

So not too upet

I have the windbreak from Tesco as well,haven't had a problem with it yet,needs to be pegged and guyed though but nice compact size.I also have the now legendary stripey beach one as well ,good for building up the muscles on my arms or letting out pent up aggro !!

Bought the chairs at Tesco last year and they were good, better than the slightly more expensive ones we bought at Homebase which are showing signs of wear.

Also bought an airbed which has been good, although I think there have been mixed experiences with these.

I have been thinking about the Tesco 4 man vis a vis tent: does anyone have one and is it any good? I bought a 2 man tent from Tesco last year and it did have a couple of leaks, but lets face it for £8 what do you expect, it is now in its 2nd season so I've had my money's worth

Poor quality tents are fine when the weather is fine....... Lets face it if the weather is good you could sleep without one!  or a tarpaulin.  When the weather turns that is when you discover when you have a decent tent!!

2am in morning discovering you are damp, or that the tent has disappeared over the cliff is not my idea of fun....
