Alright people.

I am a historical re-enactor who likes to go around the country to battles. Sadly i can't drive and my kit is getting heavy. I really need advice on a light tent that can be used from April until October in Britian. It needs to fit me in (6'2) and a kit bag.

Any tips people?

Hello Craig.

Have a look at the Vango Alpha 250 tent .

It weighs 3:6 Kilo's .  Plenty of room . For you and your kit .      Great tent for all weathers .

Camperland Manchester sold them off season . £29:29. A bargain .

Hope this helps .

Last year (2010) I bought a Coleman AviorX2 - 2 man back packing tent.

It has a high hydro head, is excellent in design, 1 door in the porch and 1 in the side which is great if you want to get in the tent without clambering over any geat you might be storing in the porch area.

I would recommend this tent as a lightweight roomy packpacking syle of tent

what a coleman bedrock, 2.5 kg and £40, bought 1 to replace my argos canvas coffin as it was just too small for me at 6' 4"

the coleman looks like a good wee tent
