hello, new to the site.

Im gonna back into camping, I used to go camping a few years back with the family we had a wynnister kestrel 6 a brilliant tent which was huge and stood up to everything thrown at it. Me my wife and 3 kids used to go in it. But now my 2 eldest are grown up there will only be me my wife and youngest who is 8 years old.

Im after a smaller lighter tent, the kestrel 6 was big when packed ,weighed 26kg and it took half my boot up. I know for £150 i wont get a quality tent but Im just after something that wont fold up in the wind or leak and have a fully sewn in groundsheet.

we will only use it in the height of summer for 2 to 3 nights at a time. I still have the kestrel 6 but dont fancy lugging it about just for 3 of us.

 

has anyone got any recommendations, id be gratefull for any advice.

 

   John

You won't go wrong with an Icarus 500, we had one at it was great, my brother has it now and still plenty of life it, the only reason we gave it to him was I bought a new Calisto 600 for £139.00.

Don't expect much for £150, however there are lots of tents that have seen very little usage and would suit your needs, if you look at the second hand market.

Try the local ads or gumtree.
