Hi all, hope this question is ok.

I've got tickets to go to Glastonbury Festival, but have had a few leg and back problems that are exacerbated by not being able to sit in a chair. Given the reputation of Glastonbury for rain, I'm worried that i might end up laid on my back in the tent.

So, I'm on a limited budget, looking for a pop/quick up tent that I can stand up, or almost stand up in. I've seen Quechua ones, but new at least they are way out of my price range.

Thanks in advance.

Jeff

Head height will obviously depend how tall you are

This has a head height of 140cm and goes up like a brolly

The coleman instant tourer has a head height of 162cm, again goes up like a brolly

Ive got one very similar to the first one, bought from asda last year in the sale for £12.50. They have it back again this year at £50.

If you are average height then a head height of 140cm is tall enough for sitting in a chair. I am 5'8" and had a Vango Omega 350 for solo trips and the porch area was my sitting room!

look out for the Trespass go further-it's from argos, mine was about £90 but some get it cheaper. It's 2 person, one bedroom one living room (with carpet) and weighs 10 kilos
I love mine :) it's easy to put up and actually goes back in it's bag!
