Yeah but only at low res/quality, and I'm a fussy, fussy man

Fair enough.

Most of the games played arent that demanding to be fair.

Well, a Hexus.Lan Mobile would be great, but a bit pricy (even for me of "disposable" income). Did mention at the lan, to Guy I think it was, that it might be worth renting a caravan for the weekend. The prices would be fair in November, but if I did this regularly (which I probably would/could), then maybe invest in one myself (they're actually pretty "cheap"). But the bother of actually towing one around the country each time would be annoying and cost lots in petrol. Not only that, but it would actually be a bit of an overkill.

My current research/investigation is a trailer tent. My family used to go camping abroad in one when I was younger, and I think it could be just right. The one we had basically folded out to the sides to have 2 double beds (with matresses). You could probably fit someone with an airbed in the middle bit if you wanted to get trampled on! The neat thing with our one was that you can then set up 2 inner tents underneath the beds for 2 more sleeping compartments. So the whole thing could maybe sleep 7 of us. Then one more in the back of my car if really needed! It will just be a case of finding a cheap second hand one. It's also making the big assumption that we would be allowed to just set it up in the car park.

Yeah we briefly talked about the Caravan idea, but I wasnt sure wether weekend rentals were ok, or you would have to rent the thing for like a week?

Trailer tent sounds intreguing/could be a possibilty once the lans really start to take off. Although for the more summery events I find taking a tent is fine, although as we were in a different building for this lan I think thats why sleeping space was limited. I think Rasher said that normally in the main grandstand bit theres ALOT more sleeping space available?

Yeah theres probably easily 5-6 times the space also you can pitch a tent up if need be

[tiggerai]

Even a tent + clothing + decent sleeping bag + lots of extra warm blooded men = warm rairai in november.

I've got a huge 5 person tent... which if you're not sleeping on air beds can fit 5 in sleeping bags easily - can prolly fit a double airbed and a single in there and still have room to move.

Will think about that for the next one I think
