Gelert rocky 3 tent
That time of year again were I get withdrawal from biking/camping. Anywho my old 2man dome tent with mini porch is dew for replacement after a good 8 years plus of use...... bust pole, tears etc
Thinking of this Gelert Rocky 3 Person Tent Gelert http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B006OU3J1..._AnKctb1W1RPTQ if you've used this/got this tent let me know. If you want to suggest a tent here's the things I'm looking for; 2-3 man as I use it for biking so I need space for my kit etc. normally only me using it but rarely use it for two. Long enough sleep space as I'm 6ft4. Standard biker requirement not massive pack space or weight. Price reasonable but possibly push to �100. Waterproof, I know I know but I've slept in a few tents where after a day or two let in drips of rain. Apart from that surprise me!!!

Well finally bit the bullet and got the above tent
set it up in my flat for a test run, still not 100% sure about the putting the inner put first then throwing the outer on second but we will see how it fares at the lakes. pack size and weight are great, I think I'll probably even be able to get it in the top box. once up inside I've good head room and good floor space. for a 6ft4 person you still need to lie sideways to lie perfectly stretched out on the floor but I'm used to that. porch seems like a good enough size for bits and bobs. let's hope the waterproofness will not be tested!!!!
