LOL ... well at the mo I feel about 60 after being out pilly with Ian ,                                                                                                                                                                             

In lidls from the 16th of Sept Neoprene Back Brace £5.99 work a treat on the bike especially for those drafts in winter                                                                                                                                                                             

I've had a Khyam Biker Tent for abour 18 months now and previously had many different types of tents. The poles are permanently attached to the tent and 'snap' together apart from the front porch pole that is a traditional 5 or 6 piece on elastic, that fits together and threads through the loops at the front of the porch. The tent is quick erecting possibly 10 mins once you've done it a few times. The porch has plenty of room to stash your gear in but a groundsheet for the porch area does not come as standard. The tent is very easy to take down and doesn't require neat folds to get in the tent bag. Screw it up roughly and it fits in the bag easily! I paid £160 for mine but a quick search online just had it in a 'sale' for £119. Downside of the tent is you cannot stand up in it and I find it a bit claustrophobic in the sleeping area.   Now look at the Hi-Gear Blackrock 4 tunnel tent from Go-Outdoors for £99 You can stand up in that, even cook in the porch entrance with care in wet weather. In bad weather you can also have a couple of seats in the porch area and watch the world go by. It would take longer to erect than the 'biker' probably an extra 15 mins. It would also require folding up with great care to get back into the bag.   The 'Biker' weighs 5.8kg and the Hi-Gear 10.6 kg but on the back of the bike not really an issue for me. The lengths of the tents when packed are the same so they will fit across the rear seat and panniers, with the Hi-Gear being slightly bulkier in diameter. If you only do weekend camps then probably the biker will suffice but if you camp for longer times and through rainy seasons, the Hi-Gear has much to recommend it.                                                                                                                                                                               

Slightly bigger weekend tent on offer at halfords £32.29 at mo...   http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/produ...yId_236907   it says 2 man but will sleep 3, and up in 15 minutes on my own - well worth a gander if you're wanting something with a decent porch.   About 2' x 6" pack size                                                                                                                                                                             

The Halfords tent on offer looks really good for the price.   If costs is a serious issue I would go for that instead of the biker tent.                                                                                                                                                                               

I'm going to head to Halfrauds later and have a look, it looks good for the price. As for it being a 2-man, it's actually larger than one of my 4-man tents (same size bedroom, bigger porch area).

                                                                                                                                                                             

First Halfords I went to had sold out, second one had one left, so if anybody else is thinking of getting one then hurry up.

                                                                                                                                                                             

100-125 waterproof bag £11.95 and a host of other goodies to keep you dry and warm   http://securityoracle.patrolstore.com/n-a-5122.html                                                                                                                                                                               

Great sacks JTB  joking aside, they are good for the money! If you want to cater for yourself these are really good:- Cooker £12 http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/compact...188, gas is about a fiver and lasts about half a dozen rallies for coffee and bacon sarnie in a morning and tin of soup now and then.  Mug £1 http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/lifeven...935, handles fold in so it packs down to nowt as you can fill it with stuff.  For pans a mate got this set recently and he’s ok with it £10,http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/go-syst...415 . I have the cooker and mug with this kettle http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/vango-t...422 £10.  It holds my cooker, pen knife, lighter, half a scourer, washing up liquid in a hotel shampoo bottle and coffee in a sandwich bag, and it fits inside my pan http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/msr-alp...931, bit pricey at £17, but it’s good cos the lid locks on so everything stays in it.  I’ve also just got  http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/8-5in-p...929 £7 cos the msr pan isn’t very non stick and burns my bacon sometimes and I can’t have that!  The frying pan is about 7” diameter so I shall be having a proper brekky from now on cos it's big enough to cook more than just bacon and will double as a plate. When I grow up I want to work at a camping shop                                                                                                                                                                              

I forgot about this, don't know how long it's on offer for, 3 season mummy bag for £15 - av it!
