Self erecting/throw tent?

buzz55 · 2009-06-23 10:16:31

hi all, Any ideas of where to try for a 2 or 3 man throw tent, the ones that require no work?! Have seen a few on ebay but not cheap!

Dunnes, Argos and Tesco all have them IIRC

Tesco have a package for €44 including sleeping bags

BEWARE: These tents are generally not very waterproof.
