    i bought a five man tent in halfords for about one hundred and sixty euro it was half price at that, it is very comfortable walk in, fine and big,
    only criticism i have on it
    the hooks or spikes that attach it to the ground are not all that good, i bought a set in a camping shop and they did the job great, they are good and strong and make erecting a tent easier

    the hooks or groundspikes as i suppose i should say that came with it were thin and if there were a wind they would not be the best

    while the ones i got were more like nine inch thick nails with a good clasp at the head to keep the tent in place

    Sorry I'll try and be more precise' Argos has a large selection of tents of various sizes and colours. They also stock a large amount of sundry camping accessories. These include air pumps, camp beds, airbeds, folding beds, camping mats, folding chairs, rucksacks, daypacks, sleeping bags, thermos flasks, canteens and cutlery, torches, wind up torches, pots n pans, water canteens, gas camping stoves, camping bogs and outdoor/camping clothing etc. If you can't get to an argos all of these things and more can be bought on ebay

    Happy?
