going to Bike Radar this weekend, but the wifes away so I need to get a smaller tent that is managable to put up by myself with no help (actually a hinderance) from 2 kids (2 and 5yrs old)!!!

thanks.

As far as I can see, not many decent sized tents are really easy for 1 man to put up. If your existing tent is fairly easy to put up, I'd take a spare 6 pack of beers and bribe your neighbours into helping you put it up.

At the risk of being stoned go to Asda and get their 4 man tent at £29.99. I've had one for 2-3 years no and it's more waterproof than my friends ones that have cost in excess of £100. Also they are simple to put up and down

Got one of these [url= http://www.vango.co.uk/tents/omega-350.html ]Vango Omega 350[/url]s and it's really easy to put up and an all round excellent tent. You can get 2 adults and 2 kids in there no problem. Lots of space in the front as well for bikes.

It's about £110 though.

thanks. like the look of the Omega.

Our current tent is big and difficult to put up so I definately need a new little one thats easy to manage.

ASDA it is as a back up though - there is one on route.

http://tente.quechua.com/en/tent/r-10,a-3,base-seconds-4-2.html got one of these last week so I can take my two boys and the bikes-great bit of kit, minutes to put up and generally a fantastic bit of kit!

The Omega 350 is an ace tent. I have one, it's easy for one person to set up and was bone dry in some ridiculous welsh weather last year.
