Saris Sentinel 2 Car Rack

Advantages: Lightweight, Easy to Erect, Great Value
Disadvantages: Porch uncovered when front door open

...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... Read review

Advantages: Loads of machines.
Disadvantages: Can be full of kids in school hols.

...10 hairdryers, 3 basins, a sun bed (this is FREE to all members but must be booked at Reception or by phone), plus a baby area which has changing mats, child sized chairs plus one of those mesh playpens and 4 or 5 cubicles for the more modest amongst us to get changed in. The lockers work by inserting a £1 coin and each key has a big safety pin and numbered disc attached. The only gripe I have is all the plug sockets have had a metal bar fixed across them to prevent hairdryers being snaffled - this means there are only 2 sockets for tongs / straighteners although members are so friendly they happily rush through their hair do so you can do yours. The showers are made of frosted glass and have doors as opposed to clingy curtains and are spotlessly clean. There is a shampoo/showergel dispenser in each one. There is also one disabled...

Advantages: Cheaper than the market leader
Disadvantages: Doesn't fold so well

...from the four corners of London, a car-share is out of the question, and the local buses are sporadic and packed to the gun-whales with people who think it's OK to play mp3 files loudly through their mobiles. The school being in a 'dodgy' area, complete with dark-windowed 'pimped' BMWs dispensing drugs like an ice cream salesman, leaving a decent bike outside wouldn't be a good idea, so the idea of a folding bike reared its head again in our household. Well, she can't have mine: I'm using it! One thing negated the purchase of another Brompton - well two if you count the fact that the Borough of Ealing is not yet taking part in the Ride2Work subsidised bike campaign, and that is the price. There's hardly a Brompton model to give you any change from 500 quid. However, the Dahon Curve D3 costs around £400 when you add... Read review
