What tents are good?
 

Thinking about going camping next year and am after a cheap easy to transport two - man tent to take on the bike. Anyone know of any ?

I bought a 4 person one off Ebay for £13, small enough to fit on the rack.

Was a Millets Eurhike one, so ok.

If you don't want to spend a lot of money this is the way to go.

Otherwise get a Vango or reputable make like this.

I've got a 2 man Vango which was a present in 1983 and its still as waterproof as it was then

I have a Vango Banshee 200... It weighs just under 2kg and is very small. It costs about £99.

I have a Vango Spectre which is a tiny pack size and weighs 3kgs. However it is 3 man!

I also have this after a recommendation by someone on here:

THe advantage of this one is if you are camping in bandit country you can put your tent in the bag.

The only disadvantage is that it is a bit bulky.

Oh I paid £20 for mine in the closing down sale at Blacks in York,

Also this thread has some good stuff on it.

IMO stick with a vango cos they are good tents for the money.
I've got a 3 man vango but tbh 2 is max really.

For my solo tours next year ( ie without wife) I'm gonna get a pop up two man one that goes up in minutes.

I intend to use the Vango Spectre next year. It fits in the luggage easy without have to bungee strap it to the outside.
