Tempest for me too, great little tent - takes all of 5 mins to put up / take down and packs away to nowt. When you're lying awake at 4am with rain dripping on your face in a cheap tent, you'll (like I did!) decide to invest in a decent one!

Milletts have had (may still be on) a pre season sale.. I bought a 2 man tent for £16 that normally they sell for £59.00 they had loads...

I figured that was enuff to spend as i`ll only use it once or twice..

Buy crap then end up buying one for every trip and get wet!
We had to rescue uggins of cheap sh*t "festival" tents at the somerset AR when there was a slight breeze.

We've got a vango one, it's got a massive porch for all the kit and it's sturdy enough to withstand a bit of a breeze. Not as sturdy as a proper expedition tent but nowhere near as dear. Reasonably light, easy to assemble etc.
