I stumbled across these http://seconds.quechua.com/EN/main.html

They are the new pop ups. The 3 second one is only 70cm across instead of the 100cm of the old style.

I would love one of these for 1 night trips but have never been able to have one as the old style was just to wide to take on the motorbike.

Anyone actually seen any? I had a look on Ebay but they are selling them at £20 above rrp

According to the website you put up you can get them here. I would call decathlon if I were you.

Good luck

Thanks for the link but you can't buy from them online and they have no stores at all in Wales.

I'm having the same problem, I live in the Highlands of Scotland and the nearest store to me is 420 miles away!

I just wish Decathlon did mail order, at the moment the only way you can get one of the Quechua pop up tents is paying £20 -£30 more than instore prices from Ebay.

I don't know if this is any help, but the Gelert Pop Up tent packs down to 76 cm, available at Wollworths, Halfords etc.

It's only a single skin and that 6cm makes all the difference in the world to me (ooo err)

But I appreciate you thinking of it  

 

Totally agree with you Fiddiwebb. Living outside of England can be a right pain in the arse where shopping is concerned.  I don't fancy paying £20 extra plus another £15 postage just to get it off Ebay.

bought my Quechua last year from one of the stores which was miles fom me and took nearly all day to get there! I asked a person in store wheather they were going to do mail order online and they said they were planning it for 2007 but couldn't say when it was going live so it might be worth phoning them and finding out when as they should have a better idea of when now.

Think I may have to do that.

I just looked over their website to see if there is a customer services email address and there isn't one.

What large company nowadays runs an operation like that?  They have obviously spent a fair bit on the presentation of the site itself but havent really grasped the idea of online trading.

Great tents but a pretty poor show for the century we live in now.

I think Ikea are in most major cities in the UK and also you can shop online with them if you live in certain areas.

Decathlon have just 6 stores in the UK and none in Scotland where I live, so the nearest Decathlon to me is in Stockport which is 420 miles away!
