There have been a few of these for sale on e bay recently. could anyone
tell me how much they weigh and where one can find a spec., dimensions
etc - Thanks in advance.

Have you still got last year's Argos catalogues?

They weigh 2kg. Have a google on this group; there have been plenty
of discussions about the tent. I have two .... but one is just for
emergencies.

Around the 2kg... I am 6'3" tall and I fit in well with room to spare for
kit in the tent and the small vestibule...
I have one for sale without the hassle of bidding on e-bay.

I've got two too (I got the second when they were going for £15 and it
worked out cheaper to buy a second instead of going home for the one I
already had!).

It stood up to a fair bit of wind and rain on the South Glen Shiel ridge
last September with no problems. My only small gripe is that the outer is a
bit 'loose' for my liking and could maybe do with a couple of more pegging
points which I keep meaning to try and stitch in.

Go on, go for it.

I did exactly this with mine see
http://www.stuartstuart.fsnet.co.uk/misc/ssdf.jpg I fitted ties at ground
level half way along the side (just hidden by behind my left elbow), and one
from the high point at the front, these small alterations stopped the outer
flapping and contacting the inner, a huge improvement!

Yes, just in case any visitors pop round while I'm up a hill.

Doesn't everyone?

You shouldn't hide up in the hills when you know you have visitors at home!

Good to know the idea works. Any tips for fitting the ties based on your
experience? Cheers.

Nothing very exciting, I stiched a bit of string on with a needle and
thread!
