2 Man tent advice needed ASAP!

[Bushcraft4life]

Got a trip to Wales planned for this weekend so i need advice quickly

Need 2 man tent recommendations, they don't have to be the best as its only a rural campsite and not up a mountain.

Budget, max £30 as i will be buying two.

Would prefer something that was made for camping and not one of those beach shelter/festival tents.

Cheers all. :You_Rock_

Could try Decathlon but, if there isn't one in your area, you probably haven't got time to mail order.

Try high street shops (Millets, Blacks, Field & Trek, etc). Nothing wrong with festival tents for summer camping - just avoid the animal print designs!

Or maybe eBay or the back of the local papers?

I don't mind ordering, most tent suppliers do next day anyway

Ooooo. That's a bit of a challenge.

How about forgetting the usual suspects that usually fall into the disposable categories like festival tents and something like this:

or maybe even better:

Never had one of these but do have a bigger vango tent and it's pretty good.

This looks adequate for the money.

Have used/abused an old eurohike 2 man tent for years now and it's till going strong.

Thanks mate. I don't know if it's out of the running but we (SWMBO and I) used one of thos pop-up tents as an overnighter on a trip down to the Alps the year before last. For ease and speed it's great. You really can put it up in 1 min and take it down in 2. They can be had for £15 in various sales atm (look in jjb sports if you have one nearby). and you could get 1 each. We had some fairly heavy rain on one night and it held up well. Not everybodys cup of tea though and no porch for storage.

Bushcraft4life which one did you go for then?

 

[Bushcraft4life]

Vango 200 mate.

Thanks everyone :You_Rock_
