Tents

the space isnt that bad, i wont be taking much for a one/two night trip, what is putting me off is the lack of reviews.

Even if you're only taking a change of clothes, you've got to have room for all of your bike kit and panniers. What I'd be tempted to do in your position is to take your bike gear to a camping shop, because you'll be amazed at how much room it takes up despite all efforts to the contrary

i have looked into it i can fit everything i need in a small tent, but the lack of reviews on it is worrying

Dave, FFS spend the £££, you won't regret it.

I'll second Mick on this. We shared this tent 2 or three years back while riding round France and there was more than enough room for two and quite possibly room for three with bags of space in the porch section for all of our kit.

Edit: I have just noticed that it's now listed on the gelert site at £79.99! I would guess a bit of shopping about would probably halve that price though.

Edit 2: And here we are - Gelert Tornado 3 at £39.99

I was given great advice here, a few years back. A 2 man tent is suitable for one with all gear. I bought a 2 man Vango spectre which is tiny but fine for bike meets etc. Nothing grand but fits in rucksack with sleeping bag.

Another vote here for the vango.

I've got the 2 man and its a great piece of kit.

I also use a bivi bag on the odd occaision too if I want to travel really light.

Bivi bags can also be used to store kit outside the tent but in the dry too so make the tent more roomy
