I have read through some of the previous tent threads but most are quite old and a lot of the links within are dead.
I am looking for a tent to take to Glastonbury but I would like it to last a few more festivals/camping trips. Some suggest to get one man larger than you intend to get - so am looking for a 2-3 man tent.
After some research, I settled with the Vango Beta 350 - plenty of space, a porch and a 3000 HH rating. Unfortunately some were going for £50-60 recently (the 2010 model) but that bargain has gone. The reviews seemed pretty good but some more I read today didn't paint this tent in too good a light.
My question is - for the price (around £80) - is this a good purchase? Does anyone have a 350? Are there better options for the price. I can't really spend more than £80 as I am spending a lot for waterproofs and equipment. I don't need the best just something that is relatively good and sturdy for less than £100.
Thanks
