2 Person + Gear Tent
I'm in the process of sorting out a trip from Scotland to Australia via Eastern Europe, India and SE Asia which will include some camping and was looking for some help!
It will be me and my girlfriend (I'm 6' 4") so we were thinking of either a large 2 man or average 3 man tent (geodesic rather than tunnel). I have searched and searched but still can't find any clear winner.
We were thinking of the Mountain Hardwear Trango 2 (we were thinking of getting it from the US for about £250 rather than the £400 over here!) but is a full on expedition tent really necessary? I am a bit concerned about weight but not overly bothered about the size of the poles (at present we are planning to strap the tent to the top of one of our panniers). Oh yeah and the last thing is because we are in Europe there isn't the huge variety that there is in the US so if it could be a tent that is available over on this side of the pond that would be even better
So any hints or pointers would be great.
