Camping World Cup 2010

TUESDAY, 29 JUNE 2010


Another four years down and it’s that time for the World Cup again – didn’t it just feel like last week when Zidane was kicked off the pitch for head butting Materazzi and Italy stole the winning title? It has literally come round so quickly it feels as though we haven’t fully prepared for its welcomed arrival. You’re constantly reminded of this huge celebration when you walk to the shops and see England flags hanging out of windows, cars zooming past with blurs of red and white and merry people wearing silly hats. Thank goodness they seem to only appear during this time and on St. Patricks Day strangely enough.

So, if you’ve already bought your silly hat, have you got the ‘Proud to be British’ flags to go with it? We’ve got two rather large, in-your-face patriotic British flags that can be seen below.

Gelert St. Georges Cross - Large England National Flag 5' x 3' (150 x 90cm) £9.99
Gelert Union Flag aka Union Jack - Large 5' x 3' (150 x 90cm) £9.99

It’s the first time that an African nation has hosted the World Cup tournament so for those of you who have literally gone the extra mile to see the World Cup and are flying to South Africa, have you thought about saving a little money with regard to accommodation? Taking into account that the airfare must have cost a few bob and then there’s the drinking fund on top of that, we have been putting together tent packages to help people save money and make sure that camping is a hassle free experience from purchasing to pitching.

Our wide range of package deals has been designed for a number of people and their needs, from the lone camper to large parties. Please see below a small sample of what we have to offer…

Camping World Festival Tent Package ECO 1 Man £37.50
Camping World Festival Tent Package COMFORT 2 Man £99.98
Outwell Oakland S Tent Package Deal 2010 3 Man £148.99
Camping World Festival Tent Package DLX 4 Man £180.00
Camping World Festival Tent Package THE BIG SLEEPER 4/5 Man £140.00
Camping World Festival Tent Package ECO GROUP 8 £225.00
Camping World Festival Tent Package THE PARTY PALACE £650.00

If you have booked your ticket to South Africa and haven’t quite got the accommodation planned, I’ve put together a few possible campsites you could stay at:

Tent City www.tentcity.co.za
Country Park www.sa-venues.com/visit/countrypark
Malonjeni Guest Farm www.sa-venues.com/visit/malonjeniguestfarm
Wavecrest www.wavecrest.caravanparks.co.za

For those who plan to stay in the comfort of their own home to watch the games, have you thought of the dilemma if you have loads of friends over and there is limited fridge space for cold bevies? We have! Cool Boxes are the way forward and you don’t have to be outdoors as an excuse to use them!

So now for the tick list:

Patriotic flag – check

Tent for South Africa or pretend you’re there in your back garden – check

Cool box to keep the drinks cold – check

Now what else have we forgotten?

Aha! Binoculars! If you’ve bought the cheapest seats available and are high up in the stands having nose bleeds due to the altitude? Then you may need some binoculars to see the players on the pitch. It’s cheaper than going to Specsavers.

Gelert Vision Binocular 2010 £6.99

Another little chestnut that you may have forgotten are whistles! Blow you whistle at the TV screen and pretend you’re the referee and annoy everyone.

Gelert Sports Whistle and Lanyard 2010 £3.99

The last thing to do now is to sit back and enjoy yourself, whether you're in your front room, down the pub or sitting in the midst of all the action in South Africa.
