 Not bad seeing as I paid £13 plus P&P for the 2nd hand Eurohike which ended up being dragged behind the Sv on the way to the AR last year  Note to self* Must buy some new bungee straps to avoid repeat of the above

Re: What tents are good?

Re: What tents are good?
Has any one had experience of transporting a pop up tent on the bike.
We have a nice vango, but as it packs round and flat I was thinking it might become a sail =  And as the Camp shops are doing sales might be a good time to get a bike only tent.

Re: What tents are good?
Yes, the pop up ones are a bit impracticable on the bike
I bought my 3 person Vango here, but in reality its only a 2 person, and great for just me. Packs up really tiny. I haven't found anywhere cheaper. Buy last years model for even better savings. Usually its only a change in colour between the year models http://www.outdoorclearance.co.uk/
