Equipment: Six of the best ... tents

1 min read Youth Work
Summer is beckoning so it's time to start planning for camping trips. Andy Hillier looks at some of the tents on offer.

1. Vango Alpha 300

This rather fetching pink number is ideal for those heading off to festivals. The tent is reasonably light at 4.5kg and sleeps up to three in one main compartment. The outer fly sheet is breathable and has a good water-repellent rating, which protects the occupants during a downpour.

Price £35

2. Easy Camp Cosenza 400

The Cosenza 400 has an enclosed groundsheet and two generously sized cabins, allowing it to sleep up to four people. There's also a porch and mesh screen windows to provide ventilation throughout the tent.

Price £129

3. Vango Venture 500

The Vango Venture 500 sleeps up to five in one compartment, so is perhaps more suited to groups of people who get on very well together. The tent has been waterproofed on both the outside and inside to help it withstand the worst that the British summer can throw at it.
