depends how big you want (need) i have a one man tent which is about the size of a shoe, when packed up,

but when erect, it is just a one man tent, not much room for kit

I got a 2man backpackers from Millets - can't remember make - poss Eurohike. Pretty small but enough room for kit. Didn't leak or blow away at the AR & cheap. Tents are getting smaller & cheaper all the time though - anyway Millets is worth a look.

(you could truncate this post to 5 words then....)

You can go for as small and light as you want, but you want a 2 man one at least with a decent porch for all your gear. I have a vango omega 250, big porch, under 3kg. Excellent for the job.
