Was mine & spikenipples tent. We were gonna camp, but as you can see the tent was balls....
Plus we don't live too far from there =)

Picked it up on Sunday afternoon and got a refund from halfords, lol

Our tent would've stayed up were it not for the elastic through one of the poles snapping. Three cheers for Hellfrauds quality control!

You get what you pay for in tents, MissYC and myself were in a vango one with proper poles and guy lines and such, I don't think it noticed the wind at all [/smug]

The elastic through the poles has NOTHING to do with the ability of the poles to hold the tent up - its merely there to hold the pole parts together in transit.

Problem was, as warned in other threads, Halfords tents are cack.

Glad you managed to get a refund tho

Tis what we are going to get. We need something bigger so a Vango Beta 250 is the way to go for us, although my coleman was fine and is fine, just not for 2 people and all the gumph that goes with camping and biking.

Viney, I have a Vango Delta 300+ that you are more than welcome to borrow if you want when you need it.
