    Me tent got a bursty

    Went camping with the missus over the weekend in a new tent. It's a Vango inflatable



    Absolutely first rate, it went up in 5 minutes, in a strong wind and its rock solid. Just as strong a poles. But then one of the beams started to sag. We had a slow leak in one of the valves, I slowed it right down with some lip balm on the thread, but the missus had to get up at least four times during the night to pump the rascal back up.

    We are definately going to stick with it though, should get a replacement inner tube today

      Go for a leak outside the tent; those valves will be destroyed by the acidity of your pee.
      And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

        Did you know vango is an anagram of Govan?

        I have a vango viper.

                    The EO tribe at a One mile fort on Hadrians wall. Just North of Haltwhistle




                    We did 3.5 miles along the wall. It was hilly, very windy with the odd shower. Good conditions for that type of walk.




                    The pub at Twice Brewed.
