Now that the kids are off to Uni, we've decided to come back to camping. So I'm looking for a 4 man (or 6) tent for the wife and I to have the odd weekend away in. Not looking to spend a fortune (around the £100 mark), but would prefer a SIG and enough room to stand up in if possible.

Any ideas/recommends?

Thanks!

Licata 400 fits the bill perfectly. Perfect tent for a couple or small family.

SIG, standing height, large bedroom which can be divided, spacious living area, massive windows let in loads of light, very easy and quick to erect, good ventilation, can be bought for £90 (if you search the Net for the best deals!)

Have to say I love my Vango Tigris 400 - not sure if you could get one new for £100 but you would pick up an almost new one on ebay for that price without too much trouble.

The living area is great for two people and plenty roomy for two adults and two kids as well.

I've seen a couple of tents in Millets by Eurohike (Cairngorm and Eden) here:

Are these any good or would a little extra cash get a lot more quality?

Just seen a used Licata 600 for £50, could be a bargain!

What about a Vango Juno, (with added velcro on the doors)

Canvas tent, paraffin light, petrol stove. Heaven
I'd rather be kayaking.
Spent up, not pent up, just had my new tent up.
