A dutch company ESVO CAMPINGS sell nesting tarp poles of various overall sizes similar to the Bubogears. The prices seem reasonable, until you decide to order online.
As they estimate that it will cost 12.50 euros to ship 2 x sets of either 190cm or 200cm poles to the UK. The sting however is that they also levy a 7.50 euro surcharge for paying via a credit card

Don't bother with the poles. Get a trap (the British Army ones on ebay looked the goods) and some shock cord. Use some imagination and tie it to whatever is available. I've been using an Australian Army tarp (aka hoochie/hutchie) for years and is perfect for all conditions, except heavy snow and inviting ladies over for cultural exchange purposes. It is, however, advisable to dig a small drainage channel on the uphill side if rain is expected. Packs down small. Weighs nothing.

It has the only heaven in town with a beer volcano and a stripper factory. The FSM created the universe after drinking heavily. Pirates are divine and their image as thieves is misinformation, they were actually peace-loving explorers. Furthermore global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters are a direct effect of the shrinking numbers of pirates. Arggghhhh me mateys! Every Friday is a holy day. For more information read The Gospel of The Flying Spaghetti Monster and visit the fourm. Why not try it out for for 30 days, if you don't like it, your old religion will most likely take you back.

Your welcome. Have you been touched by his noodly appendage?

It's weird actually because I was just looking at Tarps. I quite like the look of the Robens Xtra Lite 2.5 x 3 Tarp. Probably about the same shade as my new MSR Hubba Hubba...

Bit expensive though at £120 but if I can get a deal I might have it???

+ 1 I agree DD is top gear, and they have a clearance sale on at the moment
