Hello,

I am looking for a tent for my brother who will be using it when going on his motorbike to weekend meets. It would need to be big enough for two but the main thing is it must pack down fairly small to be carried on the bike. Ideally easy to pitch (He isn't very competent at these things!) and in the £50 region. It will only be used in fair weather as if it looks bad he wont go out on his bike!!

Any suggestions would be appreciated or just brands to look at/avoid.

   ...There are a few on the 'Khyam' website <www.khyam.co.uk> which might be OK... They're a good make and are the right price, on the website look under "Khyam PS Tents" then click on the "Autotouring/festival" section and you'll find the "Calgary" range of tents...
     There's loads of different makers, who do this sort of tent, so with a bit of luck, you'll get a few more recommendations later...

Vango delta range of tents would be very suitable.
