Anyone got a lightweight (approx 2kg) 2 man tent for sale? may also consider a 1 man tent

I don't have one for sale but can highly recommend the Force10 Helium 200. Pretty good room for two (although I use mine solo) and weighs in at 1.34kg. Price tag is a hefty £250 though...

Was thinking MUCH MUCH cheaper, its for a family member going on a 3 week cycle tour next month. If nothing 2nd hand appears he'll probably go for a new vango banshee 200.

Liam, I've had an original pro-action the last three years in the garage, never been used in anger. If its of any use shout.

That's exactly why it's not been used :) My wee delicate 6'4" frame (http://www.astrotheme.com/heights/6%274) didn't fit in it
