Ooops posted too quick:
1 x sleeping bag
1 x new poles, got the tent, just no poles to fit
2 x comfy sleep mats
1 x airbed
1 x thermal blanket
1 x set of waterproofs, jacket and trousers
2 x camping pillows
Er, anyone want a 20 year old useless male going free ?! I'll replace the rest .....
Suzy .. Go to mitchells at wakefield .. Now Go outdoors but same place .. they have some right bargains on .. maybe you could part ex your son for some camping gear ?
Chances are it'll cost less to get a tent rather than replace all the poles lol, (pegs too)
Gilert do a repair kit for different tents I got one for mine with 11mm poles £12.99 chances are yours will need smaller ones!
But you may need 2 kits as not all have the same fittings in!
when you get your kit, get a dry sack to put it all in. Have a look on ebay and search for dry sack. I have a stupidly large one that I can get my tent, sleeping bag, chair, orbed, pillow, pots and pans in. when it is empty you can use it for storage too.
Elegent solution the PP yes you can leave all your kit in it in one place then protectedd from the elements but not wayward sons lol, get one big enough for all your kit including change of clothes bedding etc.....
Better yet 2 of differant sizes/colours so you can keep all essentials in one place and the clothes bedding that you've cleaned to take with you in the other!
Or even better, leave the tent, sleeping bag, airbed, pump, pillow, stove, pans, torch, matches, water carrier, fold up chair, clip together cutlery, plastic plates, gas heater and so on at home and stop in a hotel!

I managed to pitch a tent that a mouse had been enjoying last winter and kindly left me some skylights! Had to rough it in blade_pilots East Wing but still had a comfortable nights sleep! *apologies for the snoring DC but it still wasn't as loud as nutkin, blame her *
Hee hee, thanks for the tips
Never thought about claiming on the insurance...hmm
Think I'll get a big bag though, it'll def come in handy to put son in. Could even use it as a punch bag.
