Big Pack Bi-Polar

Advantages: Can stand up in it! Quite Big, pegs!
Disadvantages: Problems with condensation, groundsheet

...pegged down! There are two entrances either side of the larger `living area'. This area is quite big - we manage to get two chairs and a small table in there. The doors can be opened out onto poles and guy ropes to give a small gazebo and some shade if its hot. The outer tent is put up before the inner tent - this has the advantage that in the rain you don’t get the sleeping area wet while putting it up! The inner tent is easy to put up, just thread togs through small plastic circular rings. And It looks a bit like a spiders web when up. One major disadvantage is the groundsheet for the inner tent, its a very thin blue material and it seems to absorb some of the water. When we pack the tent away its all muddy and wet so I recommend you to buy an additional groundsheet to put under the inner tent to protect it. Overall this tent is perfect... Read review

.... For info - the M21 is quite similar in looks and specifications however it does not offer the Fitness Test as the M51 does and has more basic OwnZone features). If You're Thinking of Getting a HRM ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Think carfeully about what you want from a HRM before you buy one. There's no point in spending £100's on a top of the range model if you're only going to use it a couple of times. There's a big price range where HRM's are concerned - the model mentioned above currently retails at between £99.99 and £114.99. Models with less specifications can be purchased from around £30. More technical models can cost well over £250. If you're a member of a gym, have a word with any of the instructors who may be able to point you in the right direction. Alternatively have a look at Polar's website (www.polar-uk.com). If used correctly... Read review

Advantages: Easy to put up- waterproof
Disadvantages: Cosy, but that's tents for you

..., and being a camping virgin, I was totally mystified and asked a nearby man for advice. We opted for a new tent style, called the Coleman Bi-Space 500. The 500 bit means that it will accommodate 5 people in relative splendour, if not actually tickling my feet with a stick of celery (but what I get up to in my spare time is my business). It appears to be a big tent with a bit on the side, which makes it a hybrid known as a 'dome and tunnel tent'. The recommended retail price of the tent is £250, but we got ours for £215, which I thought was a good deal. I was just worried about getting erected, which is something that preoccupies me from time to time. Using the Blasted Thing = We decided that we had to do a test run. We asked my in-laws whether we could use their back garden for a night, to see how we existed as a family in our... Read review
