Tent reccomendations

[Bushcraft4life]

Hi guys, need a tent recommendation.

Specs need to be
6 Berth
Single roomed, that pitches flysheet first
Hardy and as cheap as possible and preferably available in a shop in london as post is in ruins at the moment.

I have my eye on a Wynnster Shrike 6

The specs are here http://www.tents-direct.co.uk/show_tent.php?productid=1093

Anyone know if this is a good tent? or if it looks ok, i know relatively little about tents.

Cheers all

I think you get what you pay for. We just bought a Eurohike for £120 as our Sunncamp (another cheapy) was getting ragged after 6 yrs. Obviously there are dearer/better tents but at that price I am sure you will get good value from it.

I think it's quite rare to get single-room 6berth tents these days - the multi-room tent has taken over
One of the reasons I started looking at Tipis (don't do it - dangerous for the wallet).

I was thinking about getting a tipi next year, don't worry, i know they smack the wallet good

I had my eye on the Vango Idaho 600, but i don't really know.

My mum wants to stick with the tent we have now, its a four person two room tent so my wallet is taking a hit this time, i can't sleep in that god forsaken tent anymore.

We need a 6 berth though with the two dogs, one of which is about the same size and weight as a person

I hate those multi room tents, they just remind me of big commercial campsites which i hate, plus they are not very good, even if you spend over £300 for one.

We have an Outwell Montana 6. It's great. It has a bedroom part that you could just leave out and use it as one huge open plan area. Really good tent that has stood up to some very severe storms in the Alps including some squash ball sized hail. You can get them for a smidge over £300.
