looks good nice one Karey....

tho just thinking the tent front porch would be better without the clear window bits me thinketh if they can be covered all teh better for storing stuff overnight etc 

stove and thermal ground mats good too
                                                                                                                                                                             

Yeh their stuff is usually good quality too, Suzi... (look out for the motorcycle gear when it's on offer), 

You can always cover the clear panels with something.  They might even have inbuilt covers.. I think mine does...                                                                                                                                                                              

yeah very true karey  .... ive bought some of their bike gear 

tent looks good
                                                                                                                                                                             

just in time for bum in the mud, although i think maybe a dinghy to escape in may be better.
                                                                                                                                                                             

*BUMP*                                                                                                                                                                              

    I bought a 'winter' bike jacket from Lidl at 35 quid 2 years ago and it is the warmest and best waterproof jacket I have ever worn on the bike, far far better than the 300 odd quid one I also have....normally I don't skimp on bike gear but took a gamble with this jacket and glad I did. I highly recommend Lidl's bike gear                                                                                                                                                                              

Nice one Lulu

I've got the thermals, had them about 2 years and they're brilliant too.  

And I got a dry bag from Aldi about 5 years ago, which cost £6, they're about £10 anywhere else, and I can get most of my camping gear in it..

Their stuff is good quality, I think it's German 

                                                                                                                                                                             

Is Ducktape on offer, Kaz?                                                                                                                                                                             

Haha XK.. Ssshhh...don't tell anyone... if it is, I will need it all!                                                                                                                                                                             

Those tents at Lidl look very similar to the Tents Aldi have had in the past. If they are made by the same people, the spec is very good for a £30 tent.
 You can't blank out those windows in the porch bit but, you have a built in mozzy net on the door. They are roomy inside and very waterproof. I'm on my second one now because some A/holes lit a fire too near to me at the Farmyard a couple of years back and the flying embers wrecked my flysheet.

Only critisism I have is, the tents are quite tall and the poles a little flimsy because of the length. If the wind gets up the tent tends to "curtsy" in on you. It gets bloody annoying after about the tenth time. You really have to tighten the ropes to stop it.
Other than that really good piece of kit

Ps. got a Lidl 3 season sleeping bag for the Friskney camp in Oct 2011 and that is great                                                                                                                                                                              

You'll find that the specials which Aldi and Lidl stock are VERY similar... two brothers own the two companies... they just don't see eye to eye apparently!! 

                                                                                                                                                                             

Well that's me bought the only tent our local branch had out on the first afternoon of the sale!                                                                                                                                                                              

Yeh Harley_Rider that's what I heard too 

Lol...Well Done Centurion!    They never seem to get enough stock in do they?
