It's ok, he's got a 4 season tent.

[Stef]

Does this type of tent includes hot shower, warm coffee, comfy sofa and a fire place ?

[andy_e]

For £250 I flipping hope so. And that was half-price.

[Stef]

I mean, does the tent offer such a comfort ??!!! ahaha !!!
I hope it isn't 250 pounds for the tent, right ?

[lizzy]

Yup the tent was 250. Poor penniless student my arse.

[Stef]

Hey ! I (unfortunatly???) can understand also those bad words !!! ahaha !! but I like it a lot. U r funny !
I know these kinda "pennyless" persons that are bending knees for a discount, but that have all brand new climbing kits, expensive Arcteirx or Patagucci clothes, with THE beanie in the summer (bouldering defenetly doesn'tneed any special technical clothes rather than comfortable and good shoes, but...). Ah well, it was a litle warmer these pasts couple of days, but cold and humid again today, so maybe it shows that a 250 quid tent is worth it. Maybe.

I once spent a couple of nights at a bivouac site just north of Bourrom-Marlotte on the D58.  There's a toilet cubicle, and I think there might have been a tap, but not sure.  If you've one of the local fold out maps just find the town on the map and the D58 north and you should find the campsite marked.

Being of a past generation of climbers I have spent a considerable amount of time at Bourron-Mallotte (sp?) free campsite and can thoroughly recommend it, for free.    There is a tap but it gets turned off in the winter.  Not sure whether that means it is now on again or not.  There's climbing within walking distance and neds generally stay away.

In fact compared to the gite me and GA stopped in last November it felt more secure, the people who ran the gite lived next door and were some kind of deviant pr0n stars for sure, GA told me so.

word, cheers homeslices! bourron-mallotte it is then!
