Problem was, as warned in other threads, Halfords tents are cack.

Glad you managed to get a refund tho

Trufax to that BUT we had to lash it all together with brown tape, and it generally was a bit ghetto.

It was too good an opportunity to miss my freind. I saw you staggering around towards the tent and a thought popped into my brain....."Ohhhhhhh.....Rugby Tackle opportunity". Sorry I spoiled your erection though Hovie

Mine has so far proved immune to rain, high winds, hailstones, fire, muller rice, having an oil drum balanced on top of it, and multiple drunks falling on it at 5am. It did succumb when someone drove a s**t-tanker over a corner at Reading one year though, had to replace a pole. And it smells a bit funny, for some reason.

Do it, they're definitely worth it! YC had a Vango one man tent that we both managed to sleep in as well as our walking stuff on a weeklong hike in the Lakes in the middle of a heatwave and we/it survived

I'll add my recommendations for Vango tents. Mine is a Vango Gamma 250, which is huge and has a massive porch; it all folds up and packs into Oxford Sports panniers with lots of room to spare and no need to expand them. I've had it about 5 years and it's been hellishly abused but never let me down.
