Hello peeps. Well it is good to take stock once in a while but don't let onto my OH that we have all these as I have pledged that we are downsizing the camping stock and stuff will be flogged on Ebay and at car boots: in order of age we have the following.
Vango Quest 600 – high spec tunnel tent with 6000HH fabric and alloy poles. It is 6 years old now and still doing well, though I keep wondering when UV will finally do for it.
Coleman adrenaline 3 – OH’s high spec 5 season small dome for winter fossil hunting trips. Superb build quality and still going strong after 3 years
Gelert beach shelter
Outdoor Revolution Outhouse – 3 years old now and doing great service
Vaude Opera - high spec lightweight tunnel tent great for weekend breaks – 2 years old and has survived some very heavy weather indeed – thank the gods for alloy poles.
Khyam Screenhouse - used as luxury gazebo and day tent when camping with friends
Coleman Avior 3 – bought with intention of trying a backpacking trip (ah the nostalgia) , but so far my back ain’t up to it!!!!! Think that is one for Ebay.
Vango Orchy 600 - great tent for touring in the damp of the British Isles
Quechua Seconds Base full – bought this very week and may oust the Screenhouse if it proves to be the more versatile item.
Of course, what I REALLY REALLY want is a cotton canvas tent, but until we have space for drying such a tent whilst erected, it would be daft to buy one. At least with the manmade fabrics we can just spread it out in the spare bedroom to dry.
