... any suggestions?

Just got back from a week with 6 people in my montana 4. It was fab but squashed and loads of hassle packing away in the wet. What i'd like to compliment my tent collection is a sturdy, very easily erected (pop up?) 3 berth tent with just one room. Absolutely must have a decent HH, and must be able to take some wind (unlike a tent I saw this morning walking accross a field after a windy night - tent abandoned, car gone poor s*ds).

Any ideas? Thought i'd ask you lot BEFORE buying an ebay one this time!

Agreed http://seconds.quechua.com/EN/main.html

They now do a light version which packs up smaller too

Worth considering the 3 second Quechua pop up tents, if you live near a Decathlon store go in and have a look at the one's on display.

The 3 second tents take 3 seconds to put up and 15 seconds to take down.

If you are concerned about wind then go for the original 3 second which is sturdier but slightly heavier and bigger than the light version, you can also peg them out with delta pegs for that extra security.

I have heard no bad reports yet about the Quechua pop up tents, all standup to the rain and no one has said they have blown away in the wind yet.

On the strengh of  postings about the Quechua tents I bought a 2-second XL  last week for weekend use in the Highlands of Scotland where I live, not used it yet but have put it up and they look well made and it was very quick to put away, just follow the instuctions which are sewn into the holdall.
