...I bought this tent for a 2 night stay for just myself to use. I bought it from Go Outdoors for just £25 although other websites and shops sell them at a little more than this, most of them retail at around £35.
First of all it comes in a neat little carry bag which took up hardly any room at all in my car!!!
I decided not to attempt putting up the tent before i went away as i normally do so i have some idea of how it goes together!! I decided it shouldn't be too difficult as it was only small....i was right, it was easy to put up and didn't take long at all. For a two man tent it has a good sized storage area or porch at the front. The ground sheet in the porch is also sewn in which saves extra faffing once the tent is up.
I could easily lie down in the tent and another person would easily have fitted in there with me too...

Advantages: Plenty of room,easy to erect Disadvantages: Having to put it away and go home
...We bought our first proper tent last year as it was at a knock down price,our thoughts behind it were if we were really skint we could still go of for a weekend with the kids for next to nothing.
We purchased the marbella 6 which is made by gelert from our local camping out let and it was reduced from £100 to £79 so as far as we were concerned it was a bargain and snapped it up.
The marbella 6 is a six person tent with two bedrooms and a living area in the middle, it is a dome shapped tent which allows you then to be able to stand up in the living area space in it,with a door either side of the living space you can then decide which door to open depending on what you want to be facing, both doors have a window on,
it is of a green colour and has them bendy poles to erect it.
The bedrooms are plenty big enough, me and the wife...

...Well, it is December, so I will write a review about a - TENT!
The Gelert Eiger 3 is a three man budget tent, designed for weekend use or backpacking. It is actually only made to last between two and three seasons, but of course it depends on how you use and abuse it.
The bag - this is made from the same material as the tent, and measures just 16 x 53 centimeters. It weighs four & a half Kilos, and can be worn on the back like a rucksack.
Inside the bag, you will find fibreglass poles with elastic inside, these are "idiot proof" so they are easy to assemble. You will also see the tent itself, consisting of a flysheet, an inner tent with integral groundsheet, and 18 metal tent pegs. Sewn into the bag, is an instruction sheet printed on material, this is a good idea as you can not lose it. The instructions are well written...

Platform games are 10 a penny these days.
Every video game company churns them out hoping to have the next Mario.
Some times companies get lucky and produce the likes of Jak and Daxter or Ratchet.
VIS didn't get lucky with Brave. In fact after Brave,... more
