How many nights? At that price, and in Devon in summer, if it's not for too many nights, the single-skin dome (not pop-up) festival tents are an option. Millets, Argos, Amazon are good starting points. Great space in dome tents. I used one in Glastonbury one year, and there was so much internal room, it didn't matter that there was a leak at one corner. £15 iirc.

For example, here's the first one I spotted on Argos website - £20, 3kg. If you replace the pegs with Ti pegs (£12) and take the scissors to that external floor sheet thing, this'd be 2.4kg. It'll be fine in the rain for the first 3 rainy nights, which might equate to two weeks camping.

If its a one off I would go with the poster above. One carry the tent and the other the poles and pegs and the other gear. Ive had expensive tents let in water and you can get in a right mess trying to decide on the right one...£20 you cant go wrong for that weight.

A heavier tent than a solo rider would want to carry isn't a problem between 2 of you. If you share the load, then a 4kg tent means your both only carrying a couple of kgs each.

We've now decided we're going to have a 1 man tent each, for easier carrier and it's lighter all in all.

Thanks a lot for your help anyway guys! It's been useful.
