I love may, two bank holidays and normally some nice weather. Lets hope the rain stops soon. I will be camping at the campsite at the back of the shop over the second May bank holiday. I know that sounds crazy but the wife and friends will have a great time with the kids and the site is perfect for trips to Cambridge etc. I can nip to work and back and when the days work is over im sure a nice cold one and the bbq will be ready for me. Now which tent to use, I like the idea of the Outwell Wolf Lake 7 or the Outwell Bear Lake 6.

The weather is a turning, for the better. I think the early season offers that have been around for the last month or two will be stopping. Most retailers take these offers off when the customers start flooding through the doors so if a bargain is what your after now is the time to get one.

Hi

I have just pitched the Vango Amazon 600 tent http://www.thetentfactory.co.uk/index.php?c=58&p=208 on my own in 1/2 hr. Thats pitching it between two other tents with about 12″ to spare either side. That was with every peg and curtain sorted. What a tent, i feel a couple who practise could get it up in 45 mins no problem, did i just say that, oh well. If i was to say anything bad it would be that the inners are made up of 3 x two berths. It may of been better to have 1 x two berth and 1 x four berth that could be made into 2 two berths with a zipped curtain but im just being picky. If your after a good quality family tent with 3 bedroom pods you could do a lot worse than the Vango Amazon 600.
