Hi

I am looking for a good quality lightweight tent to take on my push bike for around the fifty pound mark.  I would like hh 2000mm plus and pref less than 3.5 kilos.

Any ideas

Thanks

Jay

This one looks quite good at £60, but a bit heavy, any thoughts?

Eurohike Backpacker is £29.99 at Millets at the moment. (www.millets.co.uk and search for Backpacker).

Fits your criteria but don't have first hand experience of how good the actual tent is...

Another option is one of the Gelerts. They seem a decent quality,
