well hello peeps its been quite some time since i last looged on here or at least it feels that way !

i am now back and can't wait to get started again, this time we have decided to camp for a few nights only and so we wont need a big tent, no more stray family members can come with us !! we think thats great !

anyway i now need your help.............

i am looking for a fairly cheap tent, big enough for 2 fat adults and 2 small children we would like enought room for it to fit a small table and chair set.

we now have anew car so will be nolonger travelling in the trani van so space is going to be a real squeeze.

i would be grateful for any ideas.

lots of love

It gets mentioned for everything else so I'll say Vango venture (500 or 600).  Living space on 500 would be tight for table and chairs but we normally get shelving, cool box, cooker, food box  & 2 folding chairs before the kids after to "stand outside"

Only cost about £90

if you can get hold of an Outwell Winfield I reckon that would suit your needs to a T, up in 10 mins and pegged out in another 10, excellent space for 2 adults and 2 kids, we have one of those ally roll up tables with 2 adult chairs and 2 kiddies chairs with enough room to move around..

its a great weekend tent IMO, packs away easily and small holdall size..

Edel

Outdoor world on Winwick road Warrington (opposite college) sell them - thats where we got ours.  Last time in there they had one on display

Not sure if Hugh lewis in Widnes stock them

Both have quite good displays of other tents that might suit as well.

There's Camperland at Northenden, they always have loads of tents in a covered display area. Theres also another tent display place on the left going up the Wirrall on the A540 road past Two Mills garage, towards Hoylake
