I'm really pleased for you....good friends are a God send. Reading this post means I can tell you about my very special friend too....We have only started camping this year and were gifted a rage tent.....people mock but we love it....however, she is almost on her last legs! The kids and I have spent many wonderful weekends in her with one of my long time friends (OH loves her to go so as he doesn't feel guilty about not wanting too).Recently we were discussing 'in an ideal world' and I even posted on one of the forums about it.. Samantha88 recommended a Vango breakout and I was talking to my friend about it and how I'd try and save for one for next year....Long story short, my friend recently sold her house and told me to expect a gift in the post..... yesterday I became the proud owner of a Vango Breakout 600 dlx as an early Christmas present for us all and to say thanks for making her a part of our family......tears?...bucketloads on both sides lol.

And what makes this gift even more special.....now I HAVE to book at our local site for a weekend so that we can try her out

Obviously friends like this are not unique, (which is good ) In a world fast become very self centered it does warm the cockles doesn't it? When you have pitched your vango why not get some pics of it to post on here. I haven't heard of the "Breakout" have to look it up.........enjoy both the tent and the friendship, they keep you safe and warm.

Right I better get sorted my train to Blackpool leaves at 15.20 on the dot ...whoooo hooo

Wow what wonderful friends you have there, you must be very special to them, its so nice to here such a lovely story.

Enjoy your new tent

Final post on this, Thankyou all for leaving your thoughts, I appreciate it.

I am still going next week but unfortunately it will be solo as my daughter can't get the time off, (hotel trade) So I will take the opportunity to do an in depth review of my new tipi with photo's.

Currently I am at my friends in Blackpool, So extra hugs last night when I arrived

At the of the day you did a nice thing for them, and I thought the story would be that they didn't appreciate the tent or something, but you were very kind to them, so they have just repaid it.

I would be lucky to get a single skinned gelert in the post :D
