Pop up tents.

[Radar]

I bought one last year from the decathlon on the Mulsanne straight. 39 euros and it really does take 3 seconds to put up. There are 2 potential problems: 1) It will blow away really easily if it isn't pegged down properly; this makes it tricky to put up in a high wind. 2) When packed away, it turns into a flat disc, which depending on the size of the tent can be tricky to fit in a car boot.

But in general - they're bloody good. Beats spending 1/2 an hour trying to work out how to put a tent up and then finding one of the poles is missing.

I'm no expert, you need to talk to Big H, who's the world authority on both pop-ups and playing tents.

I had just about made up my mind to buy a pair of the Outwell Jersey tents on the basis of price and waterproof spec, but the gits just put up the price to £45!! so I'm going to buy 2 of the 2 Second Air's from those nice people from Decathlon now! Just wish there was one closer to me, going to the NEC of Wednesday though so I'll go to Dudley and get them and be cool in Le Mans

I'd ring him...but I can't be arsed....

and mark will have already spoken to him....

although...with those two in charge of my sleeping arrangements in Le-Mans maybe I should take more of an interest 

Mark....Band....we need to rehearse!!  And sort the set list - PM sent - but a progress call would be appreciated - before the neighbours send the sound police around!!

Cheers
Brad

Right - I have now got the two tents required, also brought one for myself as they look good at the shop.

In fact they seemed to be a roaring trade in them, they seem to so many people buying the quick tent range.

Got mine home, and my son set it up, the two second tent - have a big complaint, took him more than 2 seconds to set up, at least 3 secs 

Put it down takes a bit longer, they recommend praticing before you go to site so you can do it easy and not look a total prat (OK the last bit was my reading between the lines of the instructions)

So Ian, I'll take them to Le Mans and you can pick up them up there.

We don't need tents to make us look like pratts....generally beer is enough
