With a four day trip to Wales coming up and future camping trips on the cards I am looking to getting some good camping gear. Right now I need a tent and sleeping bag. I have a nice tent back home in South Africa but it is a: on another continent and b: a bit big for my needs right now. I’ll get it shipped up at some point as it will be perfect for car-camping trips.
I want a light, carriable tent now though. 2 man, small and sturdy. The choice in Waterford is sadly lacking with the only decent-seeming make available to be Vango. Any comments on it? The TBS Spirit 200 seems a nice tent but it is pricy and I wouldn’t want to go wrong with €300. Any other makes available in the Sunny South East?
For a sleeping bag I don’t need an Antarctica capable bag. A summer + autumn bag would be fine for now. Once again it needs to be light and small so I can strap it onto my rucsac and hike with it. There is a nice Sunpac bag that is just one kilo and yet cosy.
Any advice for where to get outdoor gear in the Waterford region would be appreciated.
