That would be very helpful! You heading down?

If there are tents going spare then I would love to put my name down for a space. My only tent is now moldy, leaky and I am not sure how i'll attach it to the bike.

Otherwise, does anyone have any suggestions for buying one?

Look in the sales online > Millets for Example

Then put it length ways across the pillon seat and using 2 or more bungees tie it down using the supplied tie down points. (I ride a pointy so this may be different for you)

Cool. Did have a quick nosey at millets having written that post. Could probably do with getting a new one anyway. Yeah the Curvy has a couple of tie down rails, I've got one of those bungee net thingys.

Have a look in go outdoors. Big tent showroom in Basingstoke. I've got one that's not a lot bigger then a shoebox when folded but a decent size with a porch when put up and got change from £30.

Another vote for go outdoors here... Last time they emailed me, they were talking about demonstrations in-store of tents, which might be on over the bank holiday weekend as well.

i only live down the road but i'll take the van and kip in there.

i was looking in my book yesterday and wondered why the hell I'd booked to keep the 21st clear

Not sure which tent to bring. My large one is rather like the Royal Albert Hall and has enough space for me, a 6'4" Australian and a lesbian couple.
