Ventile tent anyone??

[maddave]

Spotted this Blacks Ventile Mountain Tent on Ebay, starting bid £50. Bit heavy for my needs but may interest someone.... Gotta be worth that just for the fabric

Would be a bit of a crime to cut that up just for the fabric imo.

It should live on as a tent

Quite right too; it's a collectors piece.

If you want some Ventile you'd be much better off spending your 65 quid (at the time of writing) on a couple of metres of new.

By the seller's own admission it was extensively used for 10 years and has been in storage for 40. It looks ok, but there's a good chance that it's sha99ed.

Can we be sure its the ventile one and not the other fabric mentioned on the old brochure?

Did one of the BCUK members bag it?
