Oh my god! Another tent!

Well I ordered a new tent today. I have a serious problem as this makes tent number 5. The tent in question is a MSR Hubba tour 1 which I think will be just right for solo trips, whether powered or by push bike. The large porch area is a must for me for stashing kit and hiding from the bad weather. I will report back after it's first use.

Good choice would like one of them myself

Cheers Eric. Been on the verge a few times but finally pulled the trigger. I was hoping to join you last weekend but had to work. Was it a good weekend?

The main pole arrangement is like a "Big Agnes" from the US--nice tent, but a hefty price tag.
I bought 2 3 man "nature Hike" chinese copies of a Big Agnes design--for less than 70 quid-really as almost disposable for camping at LeMans Moto GP--with all the fires! --these came with a proper footprint--all ripstop and very light-and the pole system is all one-they work very well--tried to find them again but this is the nearest I've found--same design--and I bet same source--but at a vastly inflated price from Oz 322505624311

Looks like an excellent tent, wish I could afford the 2 man version.

That looks super. Good choice

I'm starting to think about a taller tent for this rally season. I managed with a smaller two man tent last year, as I already had it and I could often go and sit with friends in their taller tents, but that's not always going to be an option and I would like to be able to stand up to get changed.

I'll have to take a look round at the local camping places and see what I can find, but the one at the start of the thread has given me a staring point to see if I can find something similar.
