Help!
Bit of a dilemma here. Ive managed to win myself (i make it sound bad) a pair of weekend tickets to the French GP (it isnt ;) ). We've never been to France before and my French is a bit limited.
We've also never been camping to a GP before, or indeed, camping anywhere other than a back garden (thats me and my dad, anyway, i've camped with Scouts and stuff in the past!).
The only tent we have access to would make Red Bull's hospitality look a bit shabby, which is a problem, considering that the spaces they give us are, aledgedly, 25 sq m. My dad Vauxhall Vectra takes up half of that!
Now, my idea would be to find some brits and persuading them they like us enough to share our tent (we'd only be using half), and having 50 sq m to play with, but thats a long shot really (and possibly hazardous to health!).
Im told that also the 25 sq m is a bit vague, and to be fair the camping area is huge, so we could probably get away with more, but if we chance it and then get told off on the day it'd be mighty irritating!
So, my request. Does anyone have a decent quality tent, enough to comfortably house 2 people and a selection of BBQ's for a weekend. We used to use Challenger tents with Scouts a few years back, im looking for something a bit bigger than that (thats kinda a bit small really, no room to move around really), so something thats around, say, 15 sq m.
Im thinking something this size-ish;

Would anyone be able to help out and lend me a tent? I could pick it up at the weekend and drop it back at the next meeting. We could, i suppose, pay for the priviledge!
