I must say, despite the fact I may only be able to day trip this year, I'm really looking forward to seeing all you lovely people again. It's far too rare that i manage to see those that aren't local

you get what you pay for..... mine is 11 yrs old now, cost a bit when new, but it's never let me down in all that time.

Cheers Mark.

I have the "previous model", the TBS Micro 200, which is nor 6 years old and still as good as ever, will be using it at AR12.

The 200 CAN sleep 2 (it did at the Somerset AR) but if you intend more than yourself and kit, I would consider the 300.

Ebay may be your friend, a 200 can be had for just under £100

All my tents are Vango's never had a problem with them (except for getting them back after I have loaned them out :P)

I took for granted that he wanted waterproof and reusable.

If you're doing a lot then Rictus advice is spot on

But if not then something with a good name like Vango will do you fine

I got mine from here, last years colours, but this one packs down small enough for the bike, but is big enough for at least 2
