Hi All

I am off Camping in a few weeks and have no equipment whatsoever! Damn it!

I thought I would ask on here just in case anyone had anything they wish to sell to me?

I am looking to purchase a Decent sized Tent Pref 5 man +size. As my boyf is 6ft 5 he wants it to be a tall one 2m high plus(lol)

Sleeping bags, Camping stove, Table Chairs etc. I know I could prob pick most of this up cheap in the bargain shops but would rather give my money to people who need it on quality second hand that buy cheap tat.

I live in Blackpool so could collect from anywhere in lancs really or if the items aren't too heavy then perhaps arrange postage???

Anyway, its just a thought. I have been bidding on Ebay for tents but they all keep going just out of my price range as the postage is so high on them! Looking for pay up to £50 for a second hand Tent.

Sorry for waffling but if you can help I would be most grateful

Sorry to admin if this is not allowed!

I know you won't be able to get it all, but have to tried Freecycle in your area? The one aroudn me had some camping stuff a couple of weeks ago.

I do have a tent but don't think it would be tall enough!! Have you tried pre-loved or adtrader on line?
When we used to go camping, we ditched the idea of sleeping bags and just put our duvet on the back seat of the car to sleep under. Much more comfortable!

Have a good time - I shudder at the thought - too old for all that malarkey now!!

Netto's are mostly turning into Asda supermarkets now so don't know if you would get the same bargains.
