About this deal

I’m going to start with areview of the tent we were given: the Vango AirBeam Capri 400. I am by no means a tent aficionado (the only time I’ve ever camped was when I was about 12 in the Girl guides!), but Ihave to say that this tent was so easy to put up and take down, even we could do it! (And when I say we,I mean, my husband – Steve and son – Liam!) The tubes are inflated to 7psi, and must be guided into position. They should not exceed 8psi, and not be over-inflated.With the beams now up, there were some more tent pegs to put in along the edges of the tent.

It was shameful regardless of the circumstances," he added. "He's genuinely sorry for his behaviour and it's a great source of shame to him." We were bracing ourselvesto be very cold at night, bringing extra blankets, woollyhats and gloves to sleep in. But, we found that they were not really needed. Whilst the temperatures did drop overnight, we didn’t feel like we were freezing cold – much to my relief – I’m not a fan of the cold! It was hot and sunny during the days, so I wonder if this helped to warm the tent up?And with the extra footprint laid down, sewn in groundsheet and the inner bedroom area, this all added up to create the warmth. Even Liam said he wasn’t cold at night in the living area which became his bedroom, which doesn’t benefit from the extra inner layer like the bedroom does. Final verdict? Vango also kindly sent us a Hi-Rise Double Airbedwhich is larger than average, at 210cm (which is 6′ 10″ in old money) and just fit in the bedroom area of the tent. We actually pushed it to one side, leaving a space for us to keep our stuff. Liam had his single airbed (which we already owned) in the living area, which is where he slept each night. During the day, we tossed that airbed on top of ours.I’ll be writing about and reviewing Vango’s bedding in another post. Razaq has previous convictions, including for criminal damage; burglary; and being concerned in the supply of drugs.The Capri features sentinel dura fabric giving you peace of mind that your tent will perform come rain or shine. Other great features include alights out inner helping to reduce early morning light so that your sleeping pattern is not disturbed. The fully sewn in groundsheet adds to the comfort of your tent by providing a draft and bug free environment. Tension Band System ensures that the tent performs in adverse conditions, particularly in strong changeable winds.

Razaq went into another passenger's bag, taking out an apple and threatening to throw it at them before falling asleep in his seat. He was arrested when the flight landed in Manchester, but had to be interviewed the following day as he was so drunk.Mesh Flysheet Door - Entrance has a sewn in full mesh door which provides ventilation and keeps bugs out when the flysheet door is rolled away

The front extensionis optional, and it is advised not to put this up in high winds, but as the weather was gorgeous, it went up for us, and gave us a nice bit of shade from the sun when sitting outside our tent. The extensionuses a pole, which folds down to fit in the bag and is threaded through. Final pegs were put in place, and then all of the guylines were pegged out and adjusted as required. Alcohol has been a problem for him for a number of years. It is clear it has featured in his offending. He recognises that and knows it's a real problem and has been for some years." With a strong heritage to be proud of, all Vango gear is developed from experience. The outdoors is their DNA. Since 1966 Vango has been developing tents and outdoor equipment for a wide spectrum of outdoor users who trust and rely on the quality they know comes with the Vango mark. Coming from Scotland, they know a thing or two about weather conditions. Whilst the boys blew up airbeds, I did the important things like tie my fabric bunting onto our tent– we were at a festival after all! Groundsheet: Fully sewn-in, attached to the flysheet with an external storm skirt to provide all round protectionMohammed Razaq, 29, boarded the connecting flight from Dubai to Manchester in spring last year, returning home from Pakistan, where he had been for three months. He got married while he was in the country. The little hooks in both areas of the tent were very handy for hanging up a light, as you can see demonstrated in my photo below. You can easily zip up one or both sides of the bedroom, and the top has a flap to let down if you need to let some air in. As well as the front opening, there is also one to the side, which you can add an optional side awningto. We are going to invest in this awning to give us some more space for our gear – even though the tent is sizeable, we kept having to move things around to get to other things, and that extra space would be welcomed – especially if the three of us go camping again. For just the two of us, it’s a fabluxurious size! It's important to remember these events took place on a plane. Those around you could not simply walk away or go home. They were captive to your unfortunate behaviour." The Vango Capri III 400 AirBeam® is a 4-man inflatable tent, which is made with pre-angled beams to achieve greater internal space than with a standard curve.

Razaq then began punching his own hand and the seat in front of his. The crew manager became worried for the safety of staff. One of the best features of the Capri 400, especially when you consider the UK climate, is the front built-in canopy. This gives you a decent amount of space to shelter in the rain or to get some shade from the sun as well as somewhere to store muddy boots and various other bits and pieces that you wouldn’t necessarily want to, or need to put inside the tent. Finally, here is my video of Steve and Liam taking down the tent – real time is 12 minutes. I’ve sped it up so it’s just over 2 minutes! It was a simple as unpegging everything, opening the valves to let the air out and then folding it all up. With hindsight, we should have rolled the tent up once it was folded over, just to expel trapped air, but we will know for next time. Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court heard he drank in the airport before the flight. Around 500 passengers were on the plane, including children. Double Action Pump - Supplied with all AirBeam® tents our ergonomically designed pump allows you to effortlessly inflate your tent. Comes complete with a pressure dial and handy carry bagThe decision was made to stop serving you and you became angry, shouting at passengers and caused fear and distress to those around you, including young children. You shouted obscenities at other passengers, refused to wear a mask and were confrontational when challenged. Other passengers witnessed that assault and felt embarrassed and humiliated by it. She felt disgusted, unsafe and used the word 'terrified'. All in all, pitching the Vango AirBeam Capri 400 was really, really simple! The official pitch time is 8 minutes, but it took us a little longer than that – around 20 minutes. I think this was because it was our first time, and we were working out how to do things, as well as the aforementioned valve issue.I know that next time around, we’d have this tent up in 8 minute estimation no problem, now that we know exactly what we are doing. (Well, maybe give us 10 minutes, just to be safe!!)
