As we anticipate the wettest Summer on record, I’m selling a couple of great tents. Given their weight, I’d prefer pick up only in SE23 (Forest Hill), but could bring them in to London Bridge relatively easily.
First up, is our long-standing family tent; a Vango Icarus 500:

This thing is absolutely brilliant as a spacious 4 person set-up, with two separate ‘bedrooms’ and a large living area with a built in groundsheet. It has been frequently used, but well looked after (i.e. never packed away wet), though some of the stitching is going on the outer bag. £75
Second is a Coleman Chimney Rock, 3 person black-out tent:

We got this in place of the Vango as a two-person alternative after our kids grew out of camping and have used it just once. It strikes a good balance between space/ weight and is a decent height. £125
