Don't forget your tent for the Isle of Wight Festival 2011!

This weekend is the 13th Isle of Wight Festival located at Seaclose Park, Newport held from Friday 10th June – Sunday 12th June 2011. With an amazing lineup for Isle of Wight 2011 which is set to blow your socks off, you’ll certainly be missing out if you haven’t got tickets. The acts taking the stage this weekend include Kings of Leon, Foo Fighters, Kasabian, Pulp, Kaiser Chiefs, We are Scientists, The Script, Plan B, Pixie Lott and Two Door Cinema Club.

The weather forecast for Isle of Wight Festival is not looking great with rain expected over the weekend, so be prepared with wellies and waterproof clothing and don’t forgot to double check all your camping equipment is up to scratch. If you are looking for a new festival tent, my pick of the tent range for Isle of Wight is this Gelert Tent; the Gelert Quick Pitch SS Compack 2 Man Tent in Illusion priced at £35.99 (RRP £39.99).

Come and have a look at our new camping range in our shop at Barnack, as well as loads of tents up outside!

This weekend why not head down to Barnack Country Clothes and wellieboots.com in Barnack, near Stamford in Lincolnshire for the Opening Weekend of Active Camping (www.activecamping.com). Active Camping was launched by Barnack Country Clothes and wellieboots.com following requests from our festival customers who said they would love to buy their festival camping gear at the same time as their festival wellies and waterproof clothing; so in 2010, the website www.activecamping.com was launched! 2011 sees the introduction of a bigger range including more products for family camping, as well as the addition of the Active Camping collection in our shop!

Visit our Open Weekend on Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th May from 10am ’til 4pm to see an array of pitched tents, our full camping range displayed in our shop plus plenty of advice! We’ll also be offering our guests 10% off all camping products throughout the weekend and some light refreshments too! So pop down and say hello and see what Active Camping has to offer.

Camping Stoves and Cooking Equipment from Active Camping - Cooking doesn't get easier than this

About two weeks ago we supplied one of the Active Camping team with a few accessories to take on his D of E Silver expedition. Toby, a key member of our support team, was about to leave for a 46 mile trek in the hills of North Yorkshire armed with Gelert mess tins, a pack of Super Noodles and instructions to file a product review on his return.

Toby says: “The first positive thing to say is that the mess tins take up no space in your rucksack whatsoever simply because you can pack all manner of small items of kit inside the tins. My first aid kit, utensils and dried food sachets neatly slotted in the tins saving space and keeping them from getting jumbled with all my other stuff. We kept the cooking on our trek as simple as possible. This was so easy; water and noodles in the mess tin, heat, drain and eat. Job done! Definitely on my kit list for the next trip.’
