    Suggestions for a very lightweight tent?

    Hi thanx for your reply. There's noway I can afford 150 on a tent. I'm looking on preloved and gumtree to see if I can pick one up cheap as I'd rather buy a half decent 2nd hand one than a cheap made in China one that will likely fall appart after a week. Thanx again Angie ;)

    Suggestions for a very lightweight tent?

    Hi thanx for your reply its the Camino Frances I will be walking from SJPP. Your exactly right about the pop up tents about them being bulkey. The one on eBay is listed as a pop up dome tent though when you read the small print it says "not a pop up tent" I've looked on gumtree and have seen a...

    Suggestions for a very lightweight tent?

    Hi I'll be walking alone, though I hope to find a willing companion (preferably female) for safety reasons. Also I'm 5ft 1" so space shouldn't be too much of a problem. I'm a very tight budget hence the pop up tent for economy reasons as I'm on a budget of £52 per week. I'd like to hear all...

    Suggestions for a very lightweight tent?

    I too am walking the Camino next may. I too live in the UK. Have a look on eBay for pop up dome tents. There is one that is less than £20. Is light and when folded goes into a sausage shape. Have a look and let me know what you recon on them.

    I know what you mean about the size when folded, though there is a dome pop up tent on eBay and it's less than £20. When this folds its sausage shape. Was thinking this might be a good option?

    hiking boots needed size 4

    Thanx for the advice, which type would you recommend? It's just I thought I may be better off getting a quality pair 2nd hand rather than a cheap pair new. I really am on a limited budget. Hence me asking for anything that someone may no longer need? Any advice would be great. Thanx for your...
