Yeah looks a good choice- and only weighs 2.5Kg

Pack size looks similar to my Vango, so you should be able to wedge it in one of those panniers I sold you.

Thats what I am hoping or if I must tie it to the top of One ha

Make sure you tie it well lol!

I considered taking it out of the tent pack, and fitting it in the pannier if it wasn't going to fit. Didn't matter though cos it does.

One of the Oxford cargo nets will help you not loose it though!

Which is what I didn't have, plus a bungy cord that must have perished under the outer casing.

Hence why I'm looking for a new tent :rolleyes:

Could have been worse, I might not be here now if it had gone badly wrong, but I was very lucky.

Worst thing that happed was I lost a £13 tent and sleeping in the bunkhouse with Dicky Tickers snoring :rolleyes:

Tie your loosed stuff down securely guys.

Ryan a rear mounted rack will help massively unless you get a topbox.
The rack will allow you to tie a shed load of stuff to it and still use your pillion seat.
