    I know you said no more recommendations but this the tent me and the claustrophobic missus use for cycle touring:

    Scarp 2

    It’s 1.7kg, tall enough for me to sit up in (6ft) and has doors either side. Also has a choice of mesh or solid inner liner and optional extra poles to take it up to 4 season use.

    Nice campsite jmct, Traigh Sheileboist dunes if I’m not mistaken? Or is it the campsite to the south (dunes are worth a try). A nice bit of machair 😀

    That Mountain Hardwear one has an awful lot of mesh on it, which IME can be a bit draughty so that would put me off that one for a start. At first glance the Mtn Equipment one looked to have a lot of extra porch, but if you’re on motorbikes I don’t suppose it matters.

    Good spot WD, thought it was time for a shower after three nights wild camping – the wife definitely agreed! So many great spots out there though.

    Continuing thread hijack – that’s the way I do it to, as many nights as I can tolerate wild camping/bothing till the dirt gets too much, then a campsite for a good shower. 😀

    Aye, it’s good for marital relations to not push your luck when it comes to roughing it! That’s a great pitch for the Akto – always thought I was going to get one but wanted double sided openings and a bit more room so the wife would be up for coming along.

    I have a wild country trisar Great tent, two folk can sit up in it at the same time comfortably, good porch to cook in, we have had 4 people sitting in it, mine is very robust ( but it is an older one)

    We lived out of it for 4 months motorcycle touring
