Right, I've had my Gelert since I joined this forum and it does the job, when I want to get away from it all. I was thinking it would be nice to bring my bike over to the IOW and cycle around and pitch a tent different places different nights. Trouble is I'd need a small very lightweight tent. What about those pop up tents, any good?
Any recommendations?
Cheers

depending on money i would go for a Vango Spirit 200+ I use it when i'm on the bike, lightwight, can pitch it in 10 mins and gives you a lot of room to put your kit in the porch,
Unfortunately, cycle camping is a trade off between weight and cost. We regularly cycle camp, and have bought the lightest weight equipment that I could find, so we have a Hilleberg Nallo 3GT tent which is over £400, but is light and roomy.
The Vango ones get a good write up in the cycling fraternity. Have you looked at the CrazyGuyonaBike website? Loads of good info there.
Like epa611 my cycling tent is also the Hilleberg, although mine is the smaller 2.5kg Nallo2 GT, my previous cycling tent was the Terra Nova LaserLite, same exact size as the Laser Competition, both at a meagre 1kg!, what I like about the Hilleberg apart from the extra room for sleeping, along with room for two touring bikes concealed in the front porch, anyone with a halve decent touring bike will know what I mean, anyway have a look on my gallery, you can see the Nallo there, c/w with bikes in the porch, not that you would notice though!.
