OK so the bug bit rather late in the season when I rediscovered camping. Since finding this site I've been well & truly hooked - and have spent a fortune on all the necessary bits & pieces required. So why oh why did I feel such a strong desire to bid for this (and guess what, I won the auction).

I really am stark raving bonkers!

Can't link to it so can't see it but i have come to the conclusion that we campers are as mad as each other. We too are new to it this year and have done the same as you, we have everything we think we will need plus loads more we will maybe never use but thats all part of the fun i think.

What a bargain.

I would have bought it, and I have more than a dozen already.

One spare pole section would cost at least double what you paid for the lot.

Canvas tent, paraffin light, petrol stove. Heaven
I'd rather be kayaking.
Spent up, not pent up, just had my new tent up.

Thanks everyone - I'm perhaps not quite so mad then?

Am picking it up on Wednesday so will let you know what it's like.

I reckon for £2.20 at worst it will be useful for spares - guys, poles etc.

Can't wait to get it!
