Great discount at Blacks through Quidco - Page 2

You could look at the Avon 3 or the Cairns at Millets.

Slightly larger design in that you have the porch area with a groundsheet to store muddy boots/etc. Slightly less waterproof then the Dart but nothing noticeable for UK usage unless you are in a bad storm

The Avon 3 is a steal at £39.99 at the moment, I'd get one myself if I didn't have one already

It's nice being able to get into the sheltered porch area, get your boots off, slip into your nightwear and then crawl into the sleeping area. Keeps bed + crap separate from one another

Ones a two and ones a three but i think they'll offer roughly the same room, since the vango seems to have a massive porch area?

I'd be wary of the Sigma - it's quite a low profile design (1.15m height) more for the use of backpackers - unless you don't mind that of course

Oooooh i like the look of that for £40 indeed! Thanking you, i'll have a looksie into that

I was going to curse but Millets don't have the 20% off camping gear so I think I'm still better off at Blacks.
They have the same as Blacks - orders over £70 = free delivery - like mine

LeperousDust · 09-07-2010, 15:10

Well thats the Avon 3 bought and after all the relevant discounts 35.xx delivered and then 10% back through quidco too so at most i'll pay 32.xx for an "£80" tent (hard to believe is really was that price though) but i don't know what figure they work the 10% out on!

And stan it depends what you're buying for the dart you couldn't have got cheaper, but something with a bit more room at the front for general **** etc... i was looking at paying more on blacks even after all the discounts! Then again when we compare tents mine now technically cost double yours

My buddy at work is doing the 24 peaks challenge and just got a whole pile of kit with a decent discount. He sends his thanks Stan.

D'oh.
It said 10th July at 00:00. I wasn't sure if it meant midnight morning or night so I ordered yesterday to be safe - glad I did.

Pity you didn't get in on time
