Not like me at all as I usually leave everything to the last minute to prepare for a rally but I decided to check out which tent to take to France and glad I did........looks like I packed my expensive 3 man tent away slightly damp last year and it aint looking too good when I take it out the bag 
Now the choices I have is take it and hope it still works even though it looks mouldy  or take the 3man tent I got from sainsburys last year for £4.50 and hope its water proof  Or do I buy another one?
What sort of tents have you guys got?

When we went to a Euro rally in Holland, my mate Jimmy did'nt have a tent so another mate said he'd lend him one. Got to Holland and Jimmy unpacked tent -- it was a kids red and yellow plastic Wendy house, we still laugh about it, but Jimmy does'nt.  |

This is what I bought the cheap one from sainsburys for  but current weather conditions make me think perhaps I should upgrade 
I've left a few tents behind especially abroad.....best one was I had a phone call from the organiser of Beatsugar just as I'd got on the ferry who was alarmed that I'd left my tent behind and did I know  I had to explain that I was too lazy to take it down and as it was raining it was easier to push the scoot inside and load it up rather than get wet....nearly gassed myself on 2 stroke when I started the TS1 up inside the bloody thing
