Hey there, I'm not selling mine, but the tent my wife bought for me is under £100
It's a Forceatt tent. I have the 2 person dark green version, it weighs a smidge under 2.5kg (if that's light enough for you?) and its brilliant imo...
We used it on Dartmoor Jan 1st-2nd set it up in fading dusk light easily enough, there was snow around, frost formed on the outside and all, but inside (credit to layers and sleeping bags too I guess) we were toasty! It has an opening each side and the outer layer pins down to form a sort of vestibule for each sides gear (no ground sheet in that area though)
Anyway, might be of interest also might be cheaper elsewhere?

Both Decathalon and Alpikit have some around the £100 mark
A new Alpkit Soloist or a Tetri or Viso 2 will set you back £119 .

I have some Wild Country Zephyros 2 in the loft I have used a few times for group camping activities. Great condition.
£65 posted if you want one. Won’t come with pegs because they were rubbish and some bent anyway!

Pretty sure I’ve got one stashed away somewhere, I’ll have a mooch and let you know...
I rather would buy a trusted brand in a shop or such a tent used if not too old.
Like that you have a chance to get broken poles replaced and some kind of warranty too.
Decathlon offers all parts seperately for example and should it break sooner than expected they take it back without any questions.
With such an internet offer you never know.

In the first view the Vango Nevis 100 looks like a copy of the Hilleberg Akto.
If the Vango quality is generally good, what I don't know because they are rare in Germany, that would be a very interesting option in my opinion.

Well Nigel, if you have any that are still lurking around, Id like to take one off your hands. If that's OK.
Cheers, Dave
Hi Dave
I’m sorting the loft out next week so I’ll get them down and give them a once over and DM you.
