.......... and on that note Rich, you'll be happy to know that it passed its MOT with no advisories today
Now MOT'd until Feb 2011.
Thanks Ross I was going to ask but didn't want to sound like I was pestering you.
Tickets all booked now I just need some insurance and think I will get a warmer sleeping bag (was to cold last time I slept in the back of my van) then all sorted
Will be kipping in the back of mine when I collect it. Have a few hours to kill at Dover and a long drive through the night in France.
Blow up mattress may be a bit over the top for me sleeping bag and polystyrene roll should do
Sounds like the best reason to do it - the day my mate and myself visited Poole to pick up the surf, we missed the last ferry back to Belfast. Visited Asda and bought some cheap duvets (very necessary!) and kipped down without a problem.
Sorry peeps, i just tried to copy a pic from the external hard drive & paste onto here & it won't do it. That's the easy way ruled out, but i'm sure there's a less direct route that prob works.

it has to be below a certain size... you can either resize it in "paint" or upload to photobucket and link from there... or email it and get someone else to post it

open a photobucket account free and then upload your pics to there and then you can link to here from there then or if you want me to post it up then send it to me and i'll post it up for you
Well, I have the Quechua (double skin), a 3 man Vango for when the weather is likely to be really sh1tty, and a six man, 3 bedroom igloo for when I need to take family. The Quechua gets by far the most use, and is, despite what some have said, fine in poor weather.
When out for a weekend offroading, I nearly always sleep in the back of the truck as it nearly always p1sses down all weekend (Wales you see). Its fun waking up warm and dry, hearing the hail battering on the roof and looking through the windows to see the tattered ruins of tents all around and miserable campers huddled under trees
The Surf is a VERY comfortable place to be in nasty weather!

I shall bring a tent of some description. It'll have me or the beer in it so it'll get used ok.

I just knew drag & drop or cut & paste would be too easy! Modern technology eh?!
(So making you look less like a hero in a half shell when wearing it on your back
dude, your link plays music... :/
Didn't realise quechua made tents that expensive, I always thought they specialised in the £20-40 range - I may have been too harsh.
To be honest you're always going to get what you pay for with a tent - just cos it only cost you £20 in Tescos doesn't mean you got a good deal. If you use it often enough, £150 can easily be just a few quid a night, and if your nights are dry and cosy as a result it's worth while.
