Cheers Bilmo-just googled a couple of vango types under £30 which look suspiciously like they fit the bill.
Will search for cheapest now, thanks. Tom.

What did you buy today?

If you're looking for value for money then the Decathlon tarp at £19.99 is a great buy. It's what I started out with 8 years ago and I've still got it now as a reserve tarp
Great thing about Decathlon is they now do click and collect with free delivery

Thanks for that Mesquite, good value indeed. Will seriously consider but change poles for f/glass-the metal ones that come with it are 1.6kg.(oh my aching back!)

Tom, this tent looks very much like a Belgium RAF tent I have, is it one do you know ?
One of these. Looks good, is 100% waterproof and if it disintegrates it hasn't cost me more than £32!
What would be a good small tarp setup to attach to this to have a small cooking/storage/dry area please?
Tom.
Hi Robbi
Got it off ebay, made in China. They're still on there. Its an almost instant pop up. Tent and fly over top. Sold by iglobalbuy company and sent from Bremen, Germany. An unbelievable £27.00 plus £5.00 delivery. I set it up in my garden over two stormy nights and it was perfect. Dry and undamaged and we get hammered by wind here and driving rain of course. Probably a copy of yours-have you got a pic. of it? The whole thing is only 4kg but its very strong-very happy for the outlay.
cheers

Sorry Robbi, no link but if you go on Ebay uk its a frim called iglobalbuy 2011. Failing that if you search popup tent you should quickly come across it in the listings.
Plenty of pet bowls and sewing machines but, no tents.

An offer I could not refuse at the local charity shop...so I bought the two on sale...
They are insulated and seem to be of a Thermarest type copy of reasonable quality. For £6 they'll do for the bunks aboard my boat.

A bundle of silicon folding pets bowls which will now be re-puposed as silicon folding camping bowls for humans. Purchased from poundworld in a fetching blue but similar to the pic below. I've been considering these for a while as an cheapskate alternative to branded camping alterhatives.
Only adjustment was filing off the heart to leave a caribiner friendly slot to allow them to be clipped onto ridgeline to dry.

Mini Alpkit shopping spree - a Cloud Cover down blanket, Kangri mountain tent footprint and an Arc headtorch
Won the auction on it last night and a mate's picking it up for me tonight... but I won't get it for another month.
Singer 201k for £21 I've also got to source a case for it as there's not one but that's not going to be to difficult
Update on it, the damn thing turned out to be a lemon, bit's missing or broken and wouldn't run past a crawl when power was applied. According to the seller it was in good working order!!! Luckily he's agreed to take it back but it's ruddy annoying
