I have a Quechua 3 man which has served me well, but my missus wants to upgrade us to a Quechua 4 man XL.

What are people's thoughts, is that too excessive for two people and their stuff?

I'd love a Quechua but a. it means 2 trips to the car as you cant carry a Quechua AND a rucksack on your back and the rest of the luggage at the same time (this is ME remember!). And b. There is no way I could ever get them back into the bag I just know it.

Can't decide whether to use this:

Gelert 6 man Skydome(£50 ebay last year)

P1020956.jpg

or this: Campus Montego 4-man(£23 ebay this year)

KGrHqNg8E1f1CoNIIBNjQlUFE7_12.jpg

Gelerts got a larger sleeping area but the living space in the Montego much bigger?

Couldn't manage without this:

or my bungee net to go over it

Found this:

And this is worth its weight in gold clipped to the outside of the tent (no tent sauna)emergency-tent.jpg

also poundland got some great little solar post lamps for a quid each - weigh nothing and great for light up camp area.

Most of the cool tents here seem to be a bit too heavy for a train+coach ride where bringing a trolley won't be very convenient - any recommendations for a tent fit for 3 that's not too heavy?

Got my 2 man Quechua tent for its second Glastonbury. f**k me, having it in 2009 was bliss. I'd sat in traffic jams from home (Bath) to the site, in a journey which has taken me 40 minutes about mid-afternoon on a Wednesday in previous years, but took 4 hours in 09. Last thing I wanted to do was piss around with my tent B)

I'm having a tent dilemma. Took my Vango Omega 350 last year, great tent and huge amount of space for little old me -->

41L77HtxqJL._SS400_.jpg41zcvtT9qkL._SS400_.jpg

But it weighs 5kg, and that walk in from the East car parks last year nearly killed me.

The other tent is one that I use for 1-2 night wild camps, a Wild Country Aspect 2 -->

44ASP2_L500.jpg44ASP2_G500.jpg

Only weighs 2kg and packs small enough to fit inside my backpack.

Will probably take the small and light, but what if it rains!?! Gah!!!

Happy Chappy, I like the look of that Wild Country Aspect a lot, lovely little tent. You happy with it? Easy to put etc? Looks like a cracking bit of kit.

Secondhand Eurohike for £10 from Ebay.

It was raining when it was delivered so it got erected in the lounge! :lol:

It was too hot last year as there are no other openings to get the air through. If its the same this year, I'll cut a window in the back and tape it up if it starts raining. :ph34r:
