A Dry British Summer?

Well according to the BBC website (link) we can expect to actually have a Summer here in the UK this year. The last couple of years have been a wash out with torrential rain fall and even floods. Well it looks like the weather folk are predicting that this Summer will have average rainfall or maybe even less than average with temperatures peaking around the 30 degrees mark.

That's great news for the Festival goers, Outdoor enthusiasts and people looking to save themselves some money by taking their summer holiday right here at home on one of the literally thousands of campsites spread across the UK.

There are some fantastic deals on Tents and Camping Equipment to be found at the moment, with many stores taking full advantage of the fact that more people are introducing themselves to camping this year because of the credit crunch.

One trend you may notice when you put a little research into what Tents are worth a look is that many hardened campers will stick loyally to a brand that they are comfortable with. There are some cheap Outwell tents available on offer (usually previous seasons models) but in reality the tents have risen in price quite a bit over the last year.

Tents are like anything else you may purchase; what is right for one person may not be right for another. New tent brands may not have the reputation but that doesn't mean the tents aren't worth the gamble. So look around when buying a tent this summer, buy the right tent for you, not the right tent for the masses.

And for all of you people heading for festivals this Summer time and are looking for cheap tents for less than £15 but wondering if you will wake up with soggy clothes? Well single skin tents should get the job done if the weather remains warm, however you will need a thicker sleeping bag. If you've made an investment and gone double skin then you will be fine with a cheap sleeping bag to sleep in.

I think we can all agree that this year is a year that many new people will turn to camping and many will realize what they have been missing out on and the money that can be saved by staying in Britain in the great outdoors.

That's all for now
