Of interest to Campers ?

Lidls have currently got a neat flysheet for sale at 39 euros.

http://www.lidl.co.uk/cps/rde/xchg/l...ndex_31991.htm

4.50 x 4.40 x 1.80 cm's and ideal as a covered place to sit when a group are camping.

Around 3kilos (due to steel poles) and packs quite small.

All men love shopping...

Its someones 'law' I forget who, thats says that no matter how hard or long you look for an item you will always find one cheaper - after you've bought one.

Anyway, mines bigger and you know that size is everything

That's the combo i'm planning on taking to faro, Pop up for speed of pitching with tarp to provide shade, I'm told to expect 40C by noon on the Algarve..

Whole lot cost me £50 or £60 at Decathlon, keeping the posh stuff for UK weather

I like Lidl and was tempted by their bigger tarp but for on the bike, the smaller Decathlon will do.

Sail Plym > Santa 15 July, @ Faro 19-22 July then back to Le Havre for ferry > Portsm on the 29th. ~3000 miles

Confession re the Decathlon combo: The first thing I did was dump the wire 'pegs' and install a set of proper Exped tent pegs

We're sailing Portsmouth-St Malo 26th July and riding down. Keep your eyes open for two GSA's and an 800 GS riding south.

Coffee is always on Mikey if you're coming down past us.

Just off the N10 south of Poitiers.
