Just seen this tarp on the Aldi website, looks pretty good.

Hi, bought one last year when they had them in and its excellent, easy to put up and can be set up in different ways. Would definately recommend them and for the price its a give away, good warranty too.

Might be a daft question, but...on their website is says Thursday 10th July offers. Does that mean you have to wait till next Thursday before they are available? Sorry but not shopped at Aldi before.
Thanks

Ooooooh I must tell OH about that, it would be great for cooking under in the rain and looks easily put up and down.

... and it means you can stay outside when it rains as well instead of huddling together in a tent.

I've used a tarp for years and wouldn't go camping without one.

We got one last year but used it for the first time a couple of weeks ago - it is NOT waterproof.   

So, although its ideal as a sunshade and it kept the rain 'off' wherever there was a puddle ff water on the tarp it was dripping through.

We intend to Fabsil it to make it waterproof.

Also the poles are very heavy - so we intend to get some lighter weight ones to take with us.

Thanks for the tip off Christine, I had assumed it was waterproof. I might rethink the purchase.
