Who Lives Near A Decathlon Store And Is Going To Jae?

[Fizz]

I have seen a very specific tent that i want to buy and the only chain of stores that sells it is Decathelon.

Now the nearest one to me is Sheffield but its a bit of a trek down ther just for a tent so was wondering if anyone is nearby that is going to JAE who could buy it for me?

I would send monies accross accordingly... Im based in Leeds/Bradford at the mo you see.

This is the place...

And this is the tent im after... (yes i know im lazy)

They have quoted £10 for delivery which i think is a bit steep...

Cheers in advance...

That's just round the corner from me now and I need to pop in tonight, but unfortunately I'm not going to JAE so that's not much use to you. Remember there's a Decathlon in Nottingham as well as a few other cities. So maybe you should widen your request to include those cities and you might get a better response.

Just me tuppence worth.

Good luck, Mick

i got this tent: http://www.millets.co.uk/millets.storefron...adcrumbs=093572

I don't trust self putting up tents, if its that easy how easy will it be for the weather?

Im not far from Stockport one Fizz.. but not sure that one will fit in the MR2... have you looked at the seconds light series? http://seconds.quechua.com/EN/main.html

Ive actually seen a test the BBC did with these a while back and it was quite highly rated with wind tests etc etc.. They are still tied down like a normal tent and all the reviews have been good. :)

Fizz,

can i make a suggestion mate that will save you all this hassle -

1. you know where i live and i can do sheffield in 50 mins and its a bit further north than you (only kidding mate)

2. seriously - order the tent from the shop in sheffield for collection not delivery and pick it up on the way to JAE (thats presuming that JAE is this year is south of me and you.

just a thought

She said to make sure the person who collects it tells them that one has been reserved in the back even if there are some on the sale display. :)

hmm... you got me thinking now.. might have to ring up and see how much those ones are then..

[Fizz]

My mind is going crazy... i was actually wanting the 3-Sec air one in the first place!!!!

Hence the quoted £55!! will ring up and get them to hold one of those for me instead... will ring you once i finish work lass.. :)

[JustJJ]

Right all sorted methinks... just looked on the website, and I'll deffo be needing the Supra for the 3 seconds air one ;) so will ask Dave about that tonight lol or just stealthily pinch it :P and see about nabbing it for the weekend as its 1metre diameter that one :P

Will let you know how it goes!
