I'm pretty sure Argos are doing a special right now for a 2 man tent, 2 mummy sleeping bags and 2 bed mats, and 2 rucksacks for around 75 Euro

I always got mine on Top of Talbot Street (spike end) or on Capel Street (near Mary Street) - There are army surplus stores there that used ot sell them really cheap. make sure you get one of them rolly up foam thingies for lying on for a couple of euros - really worth lugging around.

I got one for 20 quid in that shop on talbot st last year. They had a big sign outside saying "cheapest in dublin" and one of the tents hanging above the shop door.

Ah sure if you're only interested in a tent for Oxegen then go for the Lidl one if its still going. Its only something like €14.

for a festival get a tent that uses bendy poles to keep it up - they take only 1 minute to put up.
traditional cables and tieropes are way too much hassle esp if its raining.

Army Value on Capel St in dublin,
€20 for a two man tent, good quality as well
some tents are sh1t, no top sheet...

Im interested in this bendy poles tent,are they reliable and do they take much effort to repack?
