Having sold our argos pro action 9 man tent I am now in the market for a replacement. Currently looking at packing 2 boys off in their own tent and getting a 4 berth for me and das wife. Gelert Lokon Vario 4 looks about the right size to me and about the right price.



I live reasonably close to Brouch in E Yorkshire and was wondering if anyone had any experiance of Waudbys ?

I assume they have tents on display, is it worth a look in ?

I live in Brough E.Yorks!!

try Winfields on Hessle Rd - new shop

Loads of tents there, I know its Hessle Rd (CHAV central)
but its a great shop for camping stuff

Otherwise I go to Go Outdoors in Wakefield

Hostingley Lane, Middlestown, Nr Wakefield, WF4 4PZ

That’s the best shop I have ever found for camping its massive, well worth the trip

Hope that Helps

Greg (nr Jackson Brough)

I was really glad to see the back of my pro action jobbie, it lasted well but the head room was always going to be an issue

 

Have you got a Gelert Vario 4 by any chance, I fancy one of them
