I work for a housing association and were taking approx 17 children away to west Wales camping to basically teach them life skills whilst having fun.

We did the same last year but in 2 seperate trips but this year decided to take more for slightly longer.

We have 1 x 8 berth tent which is fine for the lads, and I have said they can borrow my diablo 600 but were looking for another 6 berth ish tent for very little money or 1 x larger tent suitable for 12 (and not take my diablo).

I've been scanning ebay and nothing yet locally and was wondering if anyone knew of anywhere or anyone that could fit the bill.

Not being snobby but must be a decent tent as we will be in west wales right on the coast and able to withstand Welsh weather LOL

Thanks in advance

Does the housing association have any contacts with the likes of local Scout/Guide groups, who many be able to wrangle the loan of a tent and some equipment for the trip? Not sure if this would be possible, but it is worth a try.

I posted this on another thread but in case it's worthwhile for you and the kids: Gelert 8 Man

It's pretty decent and not to be sniffed at. Enjoy Wales, whatever you end up camping in

Thank you for all your replies but we have just been to collecta Vango Vista 8 from bristol combined with a bit of shopping.

Have yet to test it out but lady i bought it off was lovely and it cost £68 inc the bridge!!!.

Force ten its not actually booked yet but we have sourced it out so once booked I will let you know, or do you know of somewhere as back up??

Were going in Aug school hols. Last year we did wisemans bridge, it was only going to be for a couple of the youger ones who couldn't do the camp wales but then those organising changed our dates so we already had the pitch for full week so did 2 trips.

Thank you everyone, just a bit of equipment to beg steel or borrow now lol
