The Nevada 3 certainly looks the business and I think would be very sturdy if a little heavy.

I think you are right, the Nevada 3 would be rather heavy if you were ever hoping to go camping on bikes or by public transport. Also, I was looking at one today and wasn't that impressed by the fact it only has one large, steeply raked back and rather impractical looking  front door.

The other suggestions of a Vango Beta or a Wild Country Venturi sound good though. Go Outdoors have various small Vango tents on offer at the moment, and either the Omega 350 or the Spirit 300 plus might suit you as well.

I go with Safeway56, I have one of these tents and I CAN stand up in it, It is quite easy to erect, it has to be as I have to put it up on my own, it is fairly lightweight and very roomy too, and with the 3 doors access is excellent. There are a number of excellent reviews of it elsewhere on this site.

I paid £85 new for mine but I know there are lots of seconhand bargains about.

I've had a good look at an Omega 350, and I must say that you get a lot of tent for the price. I bought an Equinox 350 which sell for more than double the price of the Omega, yet there is very little difference between the two. They both have metal poles which are stronger & more reliable than fibreglass. 

Go Outdoors are advertising the Omega 350, so you could check their stock situation.
