I've a 2 person Eurohike that's not big enough now Debbie AND the doggie want to come camping. Need something bigger to swap/part-exchange. Any deal dependant on a 2 week trail to see if you like the tent.

Field and trek are selling vango omega 350 for £99.99 new, weighs 5kilo and pack size would fit in a bar harness and also could be split in two for weight distribution.
Tunnel design with cargo area and porch to cook...?

I have something by vango that looks near identical to that, I use it as my glamping setup with my super thick thermarest...only use this setup when I have the car :lol:

Anyway, for £100 that's a bargain (it was cheaper for me coz I nicked it off my old man ;) ), I mean it is fibreglass poles and stuff, but the quality is deffo 100 quids worth, and I can stick my bike and cooking kit and toolox and a crate of food stuff in the porch with plenty of space to spare - it's very good for MTB event type things.

It's a bit big/heavy for the lightweight camping side of things.

Just my ten penneth worth.

I have a Coleman 3 person tent available soon. Don't think I put it up last 2 years and may not use it again after this weekend. It is in Derby if you can collect, bit heavy to post.

It has a good size sleeping area and if you are average height can stand in living area.
