Hello
I'm new here.
I'm struggling to find tents that fits this criteria:
Hydrostatic head 3000mm
1-2 Man
low ventilation (hayfeaver )
£60 or under
Can anyone help me because I've been looking around online and the only tent I can find is called the
"Regatta Malawi" is this my only option?
Thanks in advance

Edit: Sorry if this question isn't supposed to be here, I don't know any better.

you might be better placing this in (camping under canvas) sub section (tents info)
have you tried the GO Outdoors website, loads of tents on there,
also get tent reviews of any you like on here, (yellow boxes at top of page} bottom row on left, - wait for it to change to tent reviews

The Regatta Malawi is a pop up tent, suitable for festivals and things.
If you intend to go camping more than once don't buy it.
I've spent 2 weeks using a Vango Soul 200 £60 (£50 on ebay) on a cycling trip in Northern France.
If you can stretch to £80 the Vango Alpha 250 (£60 on ebay) is a much roomier tent although you'll pay in weight and bulk.
You haven't said if you are walking (using trains and ferries etc), cycling or arriving by car, if you are walking or cycling you have to cut back on weight, with a car tent you can stretch out and relax a little, the campsite will charge you the same.
