It's probably easier to buy one... they're not that expensive - try Decathalon or somewhere like that...

As for camping places... no idea...

edale, hathersage, buxton, castleton, there your best bet but search google for some more info or get a camping book the AA guide is good

Try CCC. Their tents are the cheapest I've found and probably just as cheap as renting. Not sure about campsites. Try the National Parks website.

I've got my own tent from Decathlon for £20 pound only. But the thing is... I'm trying to persuade my friends to come with me, and it's just easier if they don't need to invest too much money at the first time...hiring camping equipment is a better choice for them. Please help:):):)

Was reading one of those Netto flyers while waiting for a mate the other day and noticed they had a 2 man tent for £10. Cheap enough to throw away at that price. Might get one before we go to Lowlands festival in Netherlands so don't have to think about bringing an expensive tent back :D

I bought a tent from decathlon at the weekend, £30, its a great tent. I saw the netto ones too, they are 'tunnel' type tents, so cant see much room to move about in them!! Still cheap though!

As for places to go, i live near the redmires dams so i go up there every once in a while.

Theres a few good campsites at Edale. Across from the train station is Fieldsend site £4 per night. Further up the hill is Coopers which is larger and noisier but cheap. Pubs across the road at both. Hathersage have a couple of good sites too.

I was gonna dump it once I'd woke up anyway so not really bothered about not being able to move :)

Got a decent tent somewhere but don't fancy carrying it back.

I saw a 9 people's tent in CCC with three bedrooms and a big lodge. It's not a tent but a house! I was even more amazed by how light and how cheap it was, only 6.2kg and £55! faint....

I'm gonna ask 9 people to contribute £6 pound each to get that tent:D:D:D:D
