hey guys
need to invest in a tent and sleeping bags for me and three boys aged 10, 7 and 5 before the Easter camp!! any recommendations? ! these boys are all growing like mad so would it make more sense to just buy them adult sleeping bags or would it be cosier for them in kids bags?! any suggestions would be gratefully received  :D

I bought kid specific bags for mine, my 8 year old will maybe get a year or two out of hers and I close the end off for the 5 year old with a belt to make sure she doesnt slide down to the bottom. I really just depends on what you plan to do with them etc. I take mine wild camping so a semi-decent rating was what I wanted and an adult bag would be too loose on them to be of benefit. I really fancy the Mountain Hardwear Lamina 20 thats on sale atm in cotswold's but it may well be overkill for what you want, but then again it could be unzipped a bit to make it cooler ( would possibly be good for the older one size wise)

Again tents just depend on what you want to do, how you want to configure your sleeping ie all in same tent etc and how much you want to spend.....which for most of us is the main factor  :-\

hey annieanne haha I know only took me about a year lol. looking for bit of advice because hopefully you'll be at the easter camp and I won't be able to borrow your gear!!!  :D

thanks for the help Typo. The only camping I'll realistically be doing is if organised by you guys for the foreseeable future. could do with picking up some bargains but don't want to buy a load of rubbish either!! will check out cotswolds. cheers!!

I can lend you a 4 manner tent for the easter camp, could probably dig out 2 or 3 sleeping bags you too, nothing fancy, but you'll survive in them.
