Lightweight tent

[Dorset Lad]

I have a Gelert Solo that has been surprisingly good for its price. £35 from Surplus and outdoors. I read that the small pole is liable to break, so I cut an inch out of it which has put it under a lot less stress and still supports the tent nicely. It is 1.5kg and packs quite small. The only down side to it that I have found is having to weather proof my rucksack and leave it outside. But for £35 I can live with that.
