Any ideas? I have one but find it a bit small for me. I've been looking at
the Vango range, they seem to offer some good tents at a good price and my
Force Ten Mk3 needs replacing.

I suspect that when the spring~Summer catalog comes out there will be
a similar tent.

ISTR that it started off at £29.99 before dropping to £19.99 then £15
and back to £19.99.

Dewi,

(remove spin for email)

My local Blacks has a Eurotrek 2 man tent reduced from £39.99 to £19.99. The
weight was something like 2.8kg and the stuffsack didn't look too big
either.

Cheers, Jiffy

Decathlon do a 2kg, two person tent for £45. I had a brief look at one
and it seemed OK.

They don't have many shops in the UK (French company) but if you live
near Stockport, Sheffield, Birmingham, London SE16, Romford or Not'num
it's worth a look.

Sadly their UK web site does not have many of their products on it
unlike their French site.

The tent in question:

Another one that I didn't see in the shop which might be more
interesting (more porch space, better ventilation, same weight).

Some folk seem happy with the first model here:
