Tent suitable for cycling

[digger]

Myself and 2 friends are doing a 220 mile coast 2 coast mtb ride. We have have decided to camp on the way and need a 3 man tent which is reasonably light and compact. We don't want to spend much money probably around £30, £40 max.
Any one know of and tents which may be suitable for our needs?

Thanks Andrew

Hi & welcome to WAB

I don't think you will get 3 fully grown people into a 3 person tent unless you want to get really intimate!
I have a 3 man tent for me and my clobber just for overnight/weekend use.
Try Argos, Halfords, or similar outlets for their base range items, they should be starting to sell things cheap now.

Theres some good and cheap ones on Amazon at the moment, a 6 man tent for £29.99 might be a bit heavy for a cycling holiday at 11kg, but has 2 rooms and lots of space.

Split between three, Their Individual weight should still be quite minimal even with this.

Cor lummy there was a super Canadian tent which could easily sleep 3 men and a bike. Now all i have to do is find out 10years on, and post it! Wish me luck.
