We're loading up and leaving today, staying at the Glastonbury Cottages campsite tonight and will be in the west camper site tomorrow. Would be good to see some more Bongoness!!!
Also, Vango Kela Air Beam awning getting it's first outing, should be fun!

Gah! The irony - picked up my first Bongo today
and off to Glasto tomorrow without him/her (Not decided yet
) as it was arranged long before I thought I'd have a bongo and campervan tickets were long gone. Ah well, trips to sort when I get back
First time at Glasto - hope we all have a great time!

It was excellent, perfect size for the Bongo. We used the pole and sleeve method to clamp it into the gutter. I spent quite a while getting it pegged out right, but then I am quite fussy in this respect
Pumping it up take no time at all and makes for an incredibly rigid structure, I have no concerns about it suffering at the hands of an aggressive wind.
If I had any complaints I'd say the doors can involve a bit of fart arseing around. I've had a Vango tent before that had the fly screen integrated into the door whereas it's two separate parts here, and the screen part needs to be zipped up to seal the tent up properly.
Taking it down is really easy, and slightly entertaining. When you open the valves the air blasts out in one go and the whole thing just collapses! You then just roll it up and stuff it in the bag.
Overall I'm very pleased with it, hope you enjoy yours too.

yeah back in the bag.....i have a vango tent and boy is it hard to get back in the bag. Claims to be an oversided saddle bag for easy packing....NOT! Everytime i've used it i have put the tent in the car and had to re pack it at home which takes 3 people and still a struggle.
This awning sounds awesome
