Hi Mulvaney
We have something very similar to this see my profile pics.
It's got a really small pack size compared to most frame tents and the poles are aluminium so lighter than the usual steel. poles come in 2 sections that all ping together and join at the middle of the roof.
If you can find a small 3/4 berth frame tent, (ours is a raclet astor) then you could strap it to a sack truck to wheel along. they dont have a sewn in groundsheet, but you could use a tarp over the mud flaps, which is what we do.
Ours is standing height, and the bedrooms are tall. Easily fits a double airbed.
really retro for festivals too, you'll notice it in amongst the small pop ups that seem to take over glastonbury.

The Vango Juno/peace 500 tepees are 2m tall, and cheap at around £50 for the Juno. Really thick bucket groundsheet and quick easy for one person to put up. They do have some good reviews. For a more expensive option, try 'canvas and cast'-they have a lovely 3m bell tent which is well over 2m high I believe. Thicker canvas than other brands, and about £300!!

Rig up a simple awning with a tarp. There's a lovely photo of this somewhere on here, try doing a search for tepee or awning, that would give you an area to cook. Or get one of those little coleman shelter thingies for about £20.
I have a juno 5oo and it is massive for one person. Room for a double mattress at one side of the central pole and then room for a chair, corner for storage etc.
If you do consider the tepees, look also at Vango's 'green tee', their eco version of the juno, it has improvements such as a porch type thing and net door.
