I've decided to sell my 2 tents which served me well while I was actively off on trackdays and camping away on the bike, but now I'm bikeless for the next year at the very least so I could do with having the space back.

Vango Juno Tepee 500 (5 man tent) - £35 plus postage

I bought this just over a year ago for the Isle of Man trip 'plan o man'... It was around £50-£60 and has been used about 4 times in total (plan-o-man and a couple of trackdays at cadwell park). It's an all-in-one construction with a single pole. It folds down to around 60cm wide by around 15-20cm in radius (see pic below).

It's around 5kg and was happily ratchet strapped to the renntec rack on my gsxr many a time without a struggle (again, see pic below). Irksy Dan was impressed how quickly I errected it at cadwell park, on my own, in the dark, while it was raining. Literally lay it out flat, it down, put the single pole together, insert in the top and position bottom of the pole on the special hard wearing spot on the floor...

I'm 6ft 2" and can stand up straight in the tallest bit of the roof, plus with it being a 5 man, if you're on your own there's loads of room for you to store your panniers, helmet, boots etc. without getting crowded, in fact it's so big I managed to lose my wallet in there somehow (cancelled all my cards and then found it undernearth a pile of clothes 3 hours later - gutted)

In good condition, with all pegs, the pole, no tears or rips... will be genuinely sad to see this go - never been attached to a tent before but this thing's like a friend to me in a weird way.

Looks like this when errected:

On the bike, wrapped in white plastic bag for waterproof transportation - no drama whatsoever...

Tent number 2: EasyCamp Phantom 400 - 4 man dome tent - £50 + postage

(info's about this one on OutDoorMegaStore.co.uk where I bought it from = http://www.outdoormegastore.co.uk/ac...Dome_Tent.html)

Bought this one in June last year for the Glencoe massacre since it turned out that a tent with a fly-net would be ESSENTIAL - thank feck we did, the midgies were a nightmare. Think I paid about £80 for it, cracking little tent, easy to put up if there's 2 of you, not so easy if your missus is stood giggling at you while you're attacked by midgies, and the Scots over in the next tent laugh and point loudly. Once it's up, very spacious with a nice little porch area (as pictured).

This is more of a 'proper tent' compared with the tepee above - seperate outer skin & inner living compartment..

Used twice, in good condition, maybe a small selection of dead midges here and there but otherwise ready to go.

Both tents have all their poles, pegs, guy lines, everything with them - one or two of the pegs may be bent slightly (as they do - new pegs can be bought cheaply enough from camping shops)..
