Tent Recommendations

  1. Need a tent for the IOM, what one man ones do people here have? Bear in mind i'll be taking it on the bike.

    I currently have a beach shelter as a plan b, it's waterproof but not sure about windproof.
     
  2. A lot of low level, allegedly two-man tents about for sub £100 that will easily fit on a backpack or seat
     
  3. I was hoping for something around the £40 mark. Not sure what i would get for that though, maybe something with no roof! :)

  6. I got one of these 4 years ago, used it every year for touring around France on the bike and its been great. Packs down really small and waterproof.

  7. yip cheapest you can buy, £20 pound max tescos mine will see at least 2 x loopallu (north west coast festival end of September (wet and Brrr) small, wind and rain proof and depending on yer antics dumpable.
     
  8. Definitely get a two man, even for one person, you need a space to keep stuff out of the rain. I take a three man for me and Mrs YMFB just so we can get our boots and helmets in. We also take a small extra groundsheet to stand on.

    It can be hot and sunny on the IOM, but experience tells me it rains all too often at the TT
