What's your budget? What time of year are you planning to camp?

Thanks...I've bought a Vango Ambience...3 season.
....It's a single but good and wide...78cm.
It looks ok and the price was right

I also bought the Icarus 500 tent...so thanks all.

...I just need an unpowered ice box/bag.
...It must take a bottle of milk (10")plus butter and spread for a sandwich...and a chilled meal.
....preferably under £50
...any suggestions anybody.

....many thanks....Mike

Have a look at the Igloo Maxcold and Coleman Xtreme ranges. Various sizes and prices, you should find a suitable size for ~£50
