We have a Vaude Hogan. Not that much room for gear, the Hogan XT would be better for getting your gear in, but did manage to sleep 2 adults and a 3 year old in it last weekend.
![]() Depends on how much you want to spend though really - Well worth a trip to a camping shop that have them on display, such as gooutdoors. Generally find Blacks and Millets overpriced. Probably a good idea to pick your tent then buy online. Design, comfort and suitability a paramount over pitch time (i.e. 3 second pop up tents), and most small tents are very quick to put up anyway. If you're going 'cheap' at least make sure you get one that's double skinned. |

G2D, My post was more for YC. I was tempted to ask for a pic of it all packed up. Didn't, but glad you posted anyway. All of that gear on the ground looked scarey, but packed up looks pretty good for two people. You're obviously wearing a fair portion of it.

I think my 2 man tent is called a Gelert. weather check thingy. Cost £17 new. Go Outdoors do one similar by Hi gear for £14. Used mine in summer and cold wet spring and it held up fine. Packs down small and has enough space for all your gear when up. Cheap and cheerful!!

Mmm I find that with increasing age, achiness of back and improving bank balance, the first choice is travelodge.co.uk

Whatever tent anyone buys, try to get one with a porch area as they are dead useful for stashing your luggage and for brewing up in when it's wet outside. Another plus point is the inside of the tent doesn't get wet if it's raining heavily outside and you're climbing in, you can take off muddy shoes or boots in the porch and leave them outside but under cover too. Vango's are particularly good in this respect
