Glorian Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Be great to see you again Gin.If someone brings a Chinese bike to maintain, well dispense with the spanners and just use the matches. They won't get onto the field.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oasis Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Stu, will this be to big for the campsite. Not had it up (the tent) since Glastonbury festival in 2012 but it seems ok.http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160612/dafc917499a84a4de9f2e2122af3cb46.jpgSent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westbeef Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 This reminds me I still need to buy a tent! I've seen a few but I have no idea what's easiest on a bike. Can anyone recommend me a 1-2man tent that's easy enough to get on a bike?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggie Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 can't remember the brand I have but it was from halfords and was a fairly cheap one. Has managed 3 rallies plus a few other weekends away with no problem. Best advice I can give is to get a 2 man tent rather than a single. This way you have room in the tent for your clothes, bags, lid etc. 1 man tents are tiny!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oasis Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Did they wait until you'd erected it before turning you away?I had the tent laid out ready to peg the base down and an in bred, six fingered banjo player told us we where to big for the plot and we would have to pack up.The 2nd one we tried told us straight away as I asked him as soon as we got there. Ended up a beautiful one near St Ives with no problems.Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westbeef Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Just ordered that tent but the reviews show it isn't the best at keeping water out! Will bring along an extra tarp sheet I think. Every time I've been camping I've slept in a puddle Edit: cancelled that order and got this, has much better reviews and it's only 60cm long when packed up. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00KAPJF0G/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1465739786&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=2+man+tent+waterproof+double+skin&dpPl=1&dpID=311lIThsuIL&ref=plSrch&th=1&psc=1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
