I dont wanna spend a fortune on super Alpine all terrain SAS standard light weight camping gear to pack on my bike. I was wondering if anyone has any recomendations. Last year i used a 2 man tent from teco's £9.99 , a cheep sleeping bag £10.00 and a bed roll cost less than a fiver. The tent didnt have a fly sheet but it was ok if it didnt rain too hard the sleeping bag and roll were great. Absolute bargain.

Anyone got any other recomendations?

Maybe they were disposables - that's why they were cheap.

Try these guys, they have some good deals on all year round and are usually present at the bigger events such as the Farmyard and NABD.

While looking for a cheap tent for this year i found a good deal in argos,2 man tent,2 sleeping bag's,2 roll mat's and 2 rucksacks forthe grand sum of £49.00.
If it last's the season it'll be money well spent. :D

I was led in me pit listening to a fella who'd not long arrived at a rally bragging about a tent he'd aquired off e-bay for the misley sum of a tenner. He went on and on about it being a good deal....then he went quiet, very quiet but all his mates started giggling. I peered out of my tent to see what the joke was and there was this guy stood over a 3' x 2' tent that he was never gonna fit into in a million years. He stood there with his hands on his hips muttering "fecking thing looked bigger in the photo" I was nearly sick with laughter.

Last year at Ogri there was the usual bloke who couldn't find his tent - only he had more reason than most cos someone had moved it. What really made me laff was when some helpful person (trying to keep a straight face) asked "What does it look like?" he said

"How should I fucking know, I only see it once a year! "

Dunno why but that really cracked me up!

When arrising out of our kyham quick erect tent, not cheap but fooking good if its pissing down, one shake and its up. Have seen the same bloke at a few rallies a sleep next to his blue harly fat what ever you call em bike thingys.

One morning dolly thought he was dead, bought a cuppa and tapped him on shoulder to see if he was alive! if your looking for him hes the big bloke black leather jacket and jeans!
