Yo G-Dudes, I'm currently searching for a tent for this year's festival. I'm looking for a 2/3 man-er for under £35. I want something that's guaranteed to last me more than one festival though. I've not had much luck in this arena in the past. Can anyone recommend me something decent? There's too much choice out there!

this is the tent i went for last year. nice size, decent porch area but the only drawback is lack of headroom to stand. but as far as i concerned its only there to sleep in.

ASDA have some 2 man tents in at the minute- we got one last year & they have currently lasted 2 festivals already in the rain, taking them to another one this year. Only £12. They are small though, and we generally sleep one per tent and use the extra space for storage. I guess they'd be ok as a 2 man if you were pretty friendly with your tent-mate, but there wouldn't be *much* storage room.

Got the same one off eBay this year £44 including delivery..

Used it last weekend in torrential rain and wind on Saturday night. Small bit of water in the porch that I think was actually blown in under the side. Recommended.

that reminds me, need to check it isn't rotten...
