That's pretty accurate, tbf.

really?? that was the meanest thing i could think to say

(anybody on here got a vango tent? - are they worth having?)

I've had one in the past. They have a good reputation

 

[wiskey]

Well on your recommendation alone I've just bought one

Might not arrive in time for this w/e but should be there for beautiful days.

The limited edition Addict Vango looks good

I'm liking the cross-bracing. many tents are woefully braced (and so need the dreaded guyropes)

 

[Idaho]

wtf are Shuggy Boats???

The rest of the world calls them swing boats.

yep, the perfect festy tent would be self-supporting and guy-rope free.

Quite. I'm amazed Pie Face and shelley used the same name, figured it was a regional thing.

Single ended geodesic design has prooved itself over the years. Vango are usually well put together. Can't go far wrong with that one.

The only downside as a festival tent is that it will get very hot if it's sunny. But just pick up a cheap ground sheet and put it on top.

 

[JTG]

see you could do that at glastonbury . . . but this entire festival is the same size as pennards there good luck

I don't think it's even as big as Pennards tbf

Whats a Pennards ? Sounds like some old fashioned sweet shop or something similar

it's one of the camping fields at glastonbury

 

[dodgepot]

oh - i was thinking the same as termite bob. and hoping it *was* some huge old fashioned sweet shop

 

[Termite Man]

Well that was completly lost on me then wasn't it I reckon I could make a good effort at hiding from wiskey ! In fact I'm willing to bet I could hide from her for a day quite easily ( only a day though because it would be rude if I didn't say hello to her at least once or twice )

I think our vision of Pennards is much better . We could camp between the Rhubarb and Custards and the white mice

 

[onenameshelley]

I liked the name so much a stole it for the Saaf east, we always just called em boats.

 

[Idaho]

Oh...

 

[Termite Man]

Oh...

did you just post on the wrong thread

(anybody on here got a vango tent? - are they worth having?)

Yup, we've got one and they're not bad at all. It's in it's third year now and holding up fine. One of the poles has split a bit, but a bit of gaffer tape and it's fine. (We could replace it if we got around to it anyway)

We have a double ended version (vango delta 500+) and it's fine! Sturdy and not too hot.

 

[Idaho]

No. I posted what would have been a crap joke if it came immediately after another post. But I was delayed and the post appeared several posts further down. Making the post transcend mere crap jokery and putting into the 'wtf' zone.

Yeah it is the double end which means you can get a through breeze and cool it down. Single ended ones can get a bit stifling.

 

[Stig]

Sorry about earlier, just having a miserable morning. But how can anyone fail to be cheered up by shelley's enthusiasm?

I'm looking forward to seeing you too wiskey, and foo, and NVP, and everyone else, (quick stop me before I suggest a group hug and Bees has to kill me. )

 

[foo]

looking forward to seeing yoooo tooo Stiglet. xx

i will be un-annoying.

all weekend.

somehow.

 

[wiskey]

Quite. I'm amazed Pie Face and shelley used the same name, figured it was a regional thing.

I was a bit suprised too, started thinking I was odd calling them swing boats!

 

[foo]

i haven't seen NVP for years and years and years! so that'll be nice.

 

[El Jefe]

i haven't seen NVP for years and years and years! so that'll be nice.

For who?

 

[wiskey]

dragon field more like

I was going to say jazz field ans then I thought actually theres the van/car park/the kids camping and the back stage stuff too.

 

[wiskey]

yeah but you cant spend the whole time in your tent!

I dont wants everyone to hide from me - thats not the solution. The solution is not to get so wasted I take embarrassing photo's of you
