So we went into Halfords for an air freshener. Somehow we came out with a tent.
Yes, if you’re counting, this is my third tent. But what a lovely tent is is. Its wide, it’s long, it’s tall. Tall enough to stand up in without bashing your head on a lantern hanging from the roof support. And not just any lantern, either: a free lantern. To go with the free torch, the free sleeping bags – all four of them – and the two free double airbeds (I’ve always been a bit anti-airbeds when it comes to tents, but I have to admit that they felt very nice).
Oh, and the free compressor to blow them up, too.
It all packs into a nice big kit bag you can throw in the back of the car and was a bit of a bargain. Less than half price, all told. When you add up the cost of the air beds and the sleeping bags alone they come to £19 less than the tent. Add in the compressor, the torch, the lantern and the kit-bag and they’re paying you to take it off their hands.
Even at full price it would have been a good deal.
Cannot wait to get out and use it – likely towards the end of May when the weather is warm and the mozzie netting will come in handy.
Which of course means I have my old six-man tent to sell as you really don’t need two-, four- and six-man tents in your collection, do you.
Anyone want to buy it?
