Help Buying A Tent?

tents for camping argos image

I am a member of a scouts. I have been one for a good while now and everything has been okay apart from 1 thing. Well 2 but i sorted that out. I have purchased several tents and they were all terrible. They blew all over the place at night, the ergonomics were awful............so i want people's advice and wisdom before i waste my money again.

I have been eyeing this one tent which looks promising, but i'm not sure.

Answer
Go with a Eureka timberline. They are a staple of the scouts. They are sturdy and they last a long time. The nice thing about them is they come in 2 mand or 4 man and they are a 4 season tent. They also dont weigh a whole lot.

Info on tents? Need a decent one, for a low price!?

So I've been googling reading up on tents, because I'm going to a festival next weekend and need to get one. There are some in tesco and Dunne's stores but none of them seem very decent, also I've read a few bad reviews....

I basically just want to keep out the rain indefinitely!

So I found one on the argos website for a reasonable price considering it comes with two sleeping bags :)
It has a 2000mm hydrostatic head, will that keep the rain out?

Answer
i always tent in eureka tents, they are nice and last for a long time, i have used them on sand, mud, pavement, grass, wood platforms and you will be able to find replacement parts for the tent as well. and they are not hard to set up i can do it with my eyes closed... i have done it and beat someone with their eyes open. they are a little costly but are great tents.
