Thanks Chris, the Bech tent looks great, Here in Fort Worth all we have is Lakes, It might work there as well where did you get it??&#33; <br /><br />Robert the beach tent was bought many years ago from a seaside beach shop. In the UK every other shop at the seaside sells childrens buckets and spades, plastic dingys, bodyboards, wetsuits and just about every other type of bat and ball game known to man. I havent yet been to the States so I dont know if its the same but I guess it would be. The new beach tents have zip up fronts so you can get changed in total privacy. The friends who always come away with us bought one on ebay and it was sent from a seller in California. It was massive but there wasnt anywhere fitted to it to peg it down.
