Very quick to set-up, string the poles together, peg the inner out, tie the outer on to the tops of the poles and peg out - 5 mins max.

Just enough room for me (5'9') and a bike bar bag above my head, with two panniers either side in the space between the flysheet and inner.

Good for sleeping in only, you have to sit beside it to pack or cook etc.

Kept me dry in heavy rain two nights on C2C in the Lakes.

Some condensation, but the top of the cotton inner stops it dripping on to you - plus it was pitched on very damp ground.

It's a good idea to see if you like compact camping, then maybe one day splash out on a far more expensive lightweight backpacking/cycling tent, only to find you need a 3 man tent for all your stuff.

Great budget tent - at £20 it's almost disposable
