Thanks.  I'll give it a go.  I hope I can find some good bargains (although my DD will probably complain that I keep buying more "stuff").

Outwell Virginia 5 man Tent. RRP 179.99

This is the usual outwell quality and has no damage on it as it was only used twice.  We only got this about 5 months ago so has not even been stored long.  It has 3 rooms.  Two of them zip closed seperately and there is a huge living room as well.  Please feel free to look up other specs on this tent as it is all quality and you can comfortably put a family in it and it stays rather warm even in cool weather.  I didn't want to set the tent up again so picked the pic from Yeomans site. 

- 2 x Everest Down Sleeping Bags RRP 89.99 each

These are incredibly warm and snuggly and these particular ones were used only once as we got them before the second time for some friends coming along.  They are black and yellow and have a temperature rating of up to -22 c  .  Good all year round

- 2x Vango Nitestar 450 3/4 season Sleeping bags RRP 59.99 each

These are again incredibly warm and only used once.  These are black and blue and are good in up to over -17 c

-1 Envelope Sleeping bag

Basic sleeping bag for a guest

-1 Snuggle sleeping bag  again basic for a guest both 1 season

- Ezetil Portable Refrigerator with 12 volt adaptor

This is great if you want to get away for a few days and stores tons of stuff

-1 Camping Sunn gas gas heater 

This kept our tent nice and warm as we are wusses for the cold and still works great

- Fishing gear

We have a Keenets 12 ft keep net and a Silstar GT Matchrod 3 peice fishing rod  model 3872-390

- 2 x  Gelert Breeze Blockers

These are great to put around your picnic area and set up area to keep the wind off and they are very stable

- 1 Halfords 12v mains adaptor

Plugs in your own electronics to be run from the car. 

- Fold out Picnic table and benches  With portable case

This is great to have your family camping dinners on and is easy to pull out and put away.

- Portable Telescope With Case

This is easy to set up and great for a night activity when camping

-1 Alpino Child Back Carrier

This cost us 50.00 and has been amazing it holds up to 20k and is comfortable on your shoulders and has support straps as well as storage pockets for your child

- 2 Adult Portable chairs with cup holders

These fold out and we used them to sit out and have a few drinks under the stars

- 1 Hiking backpack by HI Gear

This has been used several times as we went hiking on several occasions without camping but is still in good condition

- 1 Set of Vango Pans in case

As well as these I bought two non stick pans for camping to make cooking easy and they are included

- 1 Trek Mate Walking Stick

This is adjustable in height and is great when you get to hills

- A large selection of extra hammers, ropes, and pegs

- 1 Kettle for the Cooker

- Gas Fold up Barbecue and Cooker with hotplates.

This is what I bought in France and it was 250 euros .  This has been amazing!! No one will have one like it and the jealousy will be obvious.

- 1 4.5 KG Butane Gas Bottle.

This is enough to get you by a minimum of 3 days on gas. 

- 1 Sandwich cooler

Really just good for the snacks on the way to go camping.

OK Marauder 5 berth ct, £400, needed replacement rear window £40 (both ebay). Fixed rear window, got awning £60 from ebay as well, wife decided she did not like Marauders anymore and sold for £700.
