Any recommendations for a decent 2 man tent that would suit my long frame?

Heading to a festival next month without the kids and my Vango Tigris 400 seems like complete overkill.

I occasionally do a spot of wild camping (usually borrowing a similarly tall mate's tent) but now seems like a good time to get my own.

I know I could just get the one he's got but he's loaded and his tent cost a good few hundred quid.

I'm at the lower end of the scale, somewhere between £50 and £100.

Any suggestions?

I'm sorry - I'm not being rude - but the thought of you squeezed in a little 2 man tent has made me giggle!
Have you thought about getting a toilet tent and sleeping standing up????

Have a look on Ray Mears web site...(You will find the link on the ads between threads on here) A bit expensive but there was one on there that might suit...
