wtd - 2 man tent

[barney]

as above, hoping to start taking one of my daughters this year probably walking/car camping.

I can't afford anything brand new and reliably waterproof so looking second hand route.

Anyone got anything they want to sell?

cheers

I've got an old Quasar you can have. It's not light but that shouldn't be a problem for car camping. Hugely spacious. In its time it had plenty of use, and the fly sheet is getting very fragile.

If you are car camping or doing the occasional walk with it then you don't really need one of the "mountain" tents that are lightweight *and* designed to stand up to harsh environments. Nip into Cotstwold's, Blacks, Go Outdoors or Decathlon and get something that takes your fancy. You'll get a perfectly decent tent for under £100, it won't be as light as the mountain tent but neither will your wallet

Something like this http://www.cotswoldoutdoor.com/vango-al ... colour=108

I bought a Vango Ark 200 from GoOutdoors. No the lightest bit of kit in the world, although we have taken it on bikepacking trips before now, but cheap and does the job. £60 if I recall.
