Tony, it might be worth having a look at Decathlon. They sell a full range of spares for their tents meaning you can buy just an outer and pole set. Once the inner's removed, it can make for a roomy and fairly light shelter with good coverage. Also, well priced.

Ton,
If you are not in a hurry Ali Express sellers often sell their tents with a choice of inners, ie you can have an outer tent only.
I have a trailstar clone, which a few years back cost me £45 including delivery. Tons of space and headroom, also, very storm proof.

I have a trailstar clone firecrest (?) brand. taped seam I also recommend, but out of stock on ali express. they seem very tolerant to pitching on in even ground.! :-bd
1 uses hiking pole and the bike as the other pole, 4 side guys on bike. (doubles as extra bike lock') . Stu (the boss) can make you carbon poles, which I am considering...

...but don't expect it to arrive in time to be in your bag on the seafront at Arnside at start of May.....
Don't be tempted by a Trekkertent Stealth - I like mine, but it'll be too small.
