Sooo last year, me and maria stayed in a cosy 2 man tent. By cosy, I mean small and a bit cramped, but it was good and I did fit it easily in my topbox

but for this year, we've brought a larger 2 man tnet with a porch space for stuffffffff.

Who else has got their tent :tiesto::D

I got mine for laste years event and the "porch" space came in handy for all the wet gear.

Mine has a couple of little windows too and that does make a big difference when all you can hear is rain outside, lol.

Magnum, the tent me and maria slept in last year is small and light; if you want to borow it you can.

It dosnt have a prch bit though, so if its raining you'll have to be a bit organised with wet gear and stuff. Me and maria coped though :D

I shall join you for one of those. The B**by Bike likes getting up in the morning about as much as its owner does.

I'll drag you out of your tent and we can form our own "Fast-Idle" choir

Bimey I'd have thought you'd go wherever the dog wants to!

Back onto the subject, I'll show you a good tent Matt. I've figured out it doesn't mix well with pierced nipples.

Give yourself so head room and go for the Vango. I'd get cheesed off having to lie down all the time in the second one, unless I was asleep or busy on manouvers :safe:

All for myself, a 3 man! :)
Well by myself so far ;)

Fit well onto the bike, quite compact, 25"x5"x7", so not too big.
Doesn't weigh much either.
