Which tent did you end up getting? I'm in a similar situation and I'm finding it impossible to find a smallish tent I can stand up in that deals with British weather. Thanks.

That tent is 25+ years old (can tell by the lattice windows) and worth nowhere near that asking price. At £70 it would be nearer the mark.

I do agree with Splendid though, that a 2-berth frame tent could work. It would definitely stand up to the British weather!

I'd suggest looking out for a Cabanon Pacific as the frame is aluminium so lighter to carry and handle. It's classified as a one bag tent (theory being frame and canvas and inner can fit into one bag). It's doable but you have to be a good packer! The lot weighs 20kg and pack size isn't huge, unlike most frame tents.

Smallish footprint? Standing height? Out of season use?
How about something like a Safir tipi tent?

They are expensive, as they are quality. Can use a wood burner stove in the winter, should you wish.

Thanks for all the info. I was considering that 2 berth cabanon, but I might give it a miss now (I'd also need to hire a car to pick it up) and potentially save up for a new obelink cabino.

Thanks for the other suggestions, but they're a bit big and/or pricey for me.

This looks amazing https://www.outdoorgear.co.uk/wild-country-zephyros-3-living-tent-sku51122301.asp
I just bought a used-once Outwell Franklin 3 for me to go on mums only weekends and for when my kids want their own little separate tents when we go together. It’s really lovely but needs another adult to help me put it up.
