Recommend a tent please

[Grumps]

Doing a weekend camping trip in a couple of weeks. My tent is many years old and quite heavy.

I'm looking for a tent to replace it. Light, strong, easy to put up and pack down.

Say, two man size so I have some wriggle room!

Thanks

Thanks. Is that the Pro version? Also, it's a three man. I see the Tempest 200, would that be better ?

Mine isn’t the pro version.I find the 300 a good size for me and my kit,Ive no idea how three people could sleep in it.One thing I keep looking at is the Vango gear store extended fly sheet,it would give me somewhere to sit out of the rain.

I see Vango do a series of two man and three man tents. Will have to pop out this week to a couple of camping shops.

I can.t see the Tempest for sale. Think it may be discontinued.

Thanks for the tips lads.

For motorcycle use the rule of thumb is the number of expected users plus one, if you will only be by yourself s two person tent should work. If you are going to share the tent then a three person size is best. Getting motorcycle gear on or off inside a cramped tent is no fun for anybody and helmets and boots and riding gear take up more space than the equivalent bushwalking equipment.

Quite a few 'GoOutdoors' stores in your area. They have a large selection. I paid for the annual discount card and bought all my Merino wool base and fleece mid layer gear there for on the bike.

I have a card - just need to find it!!!  I'll take a spin to Gloucester but the Vango range is looking good.

Vango Scafell is a good choice
