Me and my mates didn't want to take a decent tent to Leeds festival, going by what we've seen when being there in the past! So we decided to get a cheap one.
Best I'd seen so far were some shitty ones in Asda. THEN, got a leaflet through door from Netto  6 man, 3 bedroom frame tent for £49.99! Down I went at the crack of dawn this morning (09:20am, it is my week off afterall!)
Pikey luxury at Leeds with a bedroom each 
And ta da!

Don't see how it's a "Pikey" bargain?
A bargain maybe, but what's "Pikey" about it?

Thats a monster! However, after my first year of t, i will forever buy a two man tesco tent and just leave the badger on the monday. The first year we went, we bought an 8 man with rooms and paid a fortune, it was fucked by the saturday morning
Tesco on the way to T, sleeping bag, chair and tent = £30

We expect it to get wrecked but it's brilliant having a big one, especially if it rains.
We had a table in the middle of that and all sat round it with a wall of beer and some haribos

yeah, big tents work out well when it rains (like it did quite abit last year at leeds) my mate took and big one and everyone was grateful.
another mate brought what he thought was a gazebo, what he actually brought with him was the poles for a gazebo and a travel wardrobe

Solar powered leds were brilliant, lasted the whole weekend.
We bought a gazebo a couple of years ago, turns out it was missing some poles and they told us to take it down anyway
