3 tents (Skelsmergh LA8)
Gifted
Coleman Bi-space 500 - looks pretty new (think it's around 10-15 years old but has hardly been used); Outwell Montana 4 frame tent Gelert Quickpitch DS pop-up tent All tents are fine in light rain but may leak a bit in a storm / heavy rain conditions. The last 2 have been very well used and have been patched in a few places. The Gelert packs up very small and is brilliant for mosquito-free star gazing in the summer if you take the flysheet off, however one of the poles has broken and been repaired - still works ok but has a slight kink in it as can be seen in one of the photos. Happy for these to go individually or as a job lot...

Bread machine (Skelsmergh LA8)
Gifted
Morphy Richards Fastbake bread machine, a few years old and has been brilliant. Still works fine except that the seal seems to have gone at the bottom of the tin so a little bit of dough is seeping out each time which then burns on to the drive shaft and needs to be cleaned out each time. If you could find a second hand tin that fits I’m sure it’d be almost as good as new…
