Endorse it in Dorset Festival 2008 (with ADDED POLL!)

[Termite Man]

Nah it's a 4 berth, sounds about the same size as ours

so you can fit a bike in it and stand up . That is

 

[Termite Man]

yeah of course, I take it you havent seen bees' marquee?

It has about 6 bedrooms

 

[wiskey]

I lied I think his only has three

but the huge ones sleep about 12 people

 

[dodgepot]

seeing some of these tents it amazes me that more people just don't live in tents full time

Wiskey:
Red = your old tent
Green = your new one
Dimensions in cm

 

[foo]

i preferred talking about flip flops tbf.

 

[Biddlybee]

thought i was going to look a bit silly then

Yours is a bit of a better make, but same size ish... I've been informed ours is called Sandra

And if it does rain (it won't, it won't) then it's not too claustrophobic inside.

so you can fit a bike in it and stand up . That is

Could fit a couple of bikes in the 'lounge' bit... and tbf I could probably stand up in most tents

I really cant imagine what your tent looks like?

eta:

would suit you i think

 

[Kanda]

Porch/lounge area is about 6ft high, I can stand up in it

 

[dodgepot]

i preferred talking about flip flops tbf.

i preferred it when i wasn't getting ignored

 

[foo]

who's ignoring you?

 

[Biddlybee]

you have a lounge!!!!

*want*

I dunno what it's called... from what kanda posted I think it's called a porch

The slopey down bit is where we sleep, the rest is porchlounge. You're welcome any time... we're due a cuppa!

 

[Kanda]

I corrected it to lounge

The porch is the bit that sticks out on mine

gotta have somewhere to fit stove/pots/pans/coolbox/chairs

At least that one has a bit of an awning on it. I'm not very happy with the new trend which just seems to have zip up doors but with no way of opening it out to give a bit of shelter above.

My only gripe with the vangos (and my current tent) is that the side doors open up to and above the porch iyswim. Meaning that if it rains, to keep the inside dry you need to shut the doors. I quite like being able to sit, dry, in my tent but still have the door open.

I'm holding you to that.

Will bring my mug

Unless it's raining straight down, with no wind then the awning bit isn't that useful, otherwise yer, it's nice to get a bit of air in the rain.

who's ignoring you?

everyone except you it seems. they've all gone into tent porn overload.

ooooooh i like that one, can i have one like that all to myself please?

Stig thank you for being nice about the enthusiasm, hopefully at some point (after the driving of course) i will be given a nice sedative and will just sit quietly dribbling on myself.

Are we having a cake for Dervs burfdee or are we going to stick a candle in a jaffa cake?? I can bring the candles.

 

[foo]

they've all gone into tent porn overload.

scary ain't it.

 

[Biddlybee]

I have whole threads where people ignore me

and, ahem, you seemed to be getting a bit excited by tents too

seeing some of these tents it amazes me that more people just don't live in tents full time

 

[dodgepot]

i'll ignore that bit ...

 

[wiskey]

We might have to leave sunday night and his birthday is on monday - So I was wondering if it would be best to do cake at the cocktails?

as its his 30th I feel we all need to sing (he'll hate it )

However I might have to think about cake for 60 people might buy smaller cake substitutes.

But candles definately

 

[Voley]

My tent's shite compared to all them. I'll camp with firky, I think.

 

[Biddlybee]

When are the cocktails?
