Buying a tent on Facebook

Shopping on Facebook has taken a totally different dimension for me. Whilst browsing and chatting along with some friends about rugby, there pops up this amazing tent for £50!!!! Thought to myself, thats a bargain. Even if its rubbish, it i still cheaper that a Vango event Shelter i was planning to buy to attach to the 5 birth tent i already have.  Immediately I messaged the owner and booked it to go and pick it up later in the evening.

Getting lost somewhere in Orell, knocking on all the doors in the street and every house selling an awning for some reason, managed to find the right door.

2 massive bags with all the parts and accessories filling the boot of a VW Touran!

I couldn’t wait to pitch it!!! `but was getting late.

The next day, after work, late afternoon, I took it upon my self with some help from Beastcode to pitch the beast.

Errrrrmmm, this tent will barely fit in the Garden!!!

After a good wash, repair of the zips, stitch up of a couple of tears, The now refurbished  “Outwell Georgia XL” is ready for glory.

I am only worried about on thing. Do you know how much space you need to pitch a 2 single and one double bedroom tens with a Lounge and kitchen?

72sqm, or 775sqft

Fingers crossed we can find a big enough space by the pool!!!! or in the camping!!!! Otherwise we will be sleeping under the stars….literally!!!!

Off to Aldi for a camping table and a inflatable kayak for the boys now…!
