Hello all :)

I am after a new tent, preferably for as cheap as poss under £100, so sale items and good old Ebay will be considered!!

It will be for predominantly festival camping, and will be for 2 of us plus a reasonable amount of kit, so at least a 4man upwards. We're both over 5'9" so it would be nice to be able to stand in the porch area at least, but the bedroom isn't such a big deal for headroom. It'd have to be one main bedroom as well, as I don't like the idea of my kit being in a separate area - we're seasoned festy-goers but when it comes to security of your belongings, you can never be too careful... :)

Our current tent is the Argos Sovreign 4 man, which we can stand in the porch area of and which is pretty good space/size wise. However it's a bit old and battered now, and I'd definitely love a replacement asap (given we're off to a festival next week especially!!). It's an ok tent but I don't want to replace it like-for-like as I've had a few problems with the poles buckling (thankfully not snapping though).

Any ideas? I feel like I've considered every tent out there - price and room are my major factors.....help!!!

Wynnster Shrike 6 ? A proven tent, standing height and well inside budget at £85.

We have a Shrike 5 and it is a good quality, dependable, practical, well ventilated tent that keeps the rain out! What's not to like?
