Thinking of buying an overnight tent for 3 and been looking at the Eurohike Flash (pop up) tent. anybody any thoughts on it. Seems to be able to put up in seconds and put away in minutes, thought it might be worth it for overnight stays, already have a large tent for long stays, but hoping to get away for a few overnighters in the late spring early summer.
Any thoughts, suggestions most appriecated
Thanks

Don't know anything about the Eurohike Flash, but we have the Quechua 3 second (3 berth) pop ups (here) , which are similar, and they are fab.
Pitching is a doddle (and honestly does take just seconds), we use a small B&Q tarp underneath just to give the SIG a bit of protection. Packing down just takes a bit of practice but, once you have got the knack, it is is easy and quick enough (amazingly so!).
The 3 man version is a bit taller than the 2 man, hence you can still sit upright on a Coleman airbed without touching the top of the tent (unless you are very tall, I guess). It is a wee bit bigger on pack size, but the additional space inside is worth it, we feel.
They are great for overnights and really good value for money.
