follow up report
I took my five year old cycle camping at the back end of September, not far just a quick overnight off road where he could pedal his own steed and enjoy a night out under the stars.
The tent packs small and thus was easily transported, its green so blended in nicely with our chosen hedgerow camping spot.
It goes up quick and easy. I got my lad off to sleep and he slept soundly, after a whisky or 2 I turned in for the night, I had to shuffle a wee bit to get comfy and not squash my son but once zipped in it was fine my legs going down the tight end of the tent and us having just enough body room at the top for a good nights sleep.
in the morning there was a fair bit of condensation and but it soon dryed out and we were both dry.
It all packed up quick and proved its £9.99 worth.
Negatives would be; the noseeum netting is a bit airy I would prefer more solid sides to keep driving wind out(would be great on hot summer nights mind). It could do with a couple more pegging points to keep the fly sheet snug at the sides to prevent previous. The overal quality is fine but the longer pole snags the top envelope when pushing it through.
Positives; Its small light and cheap, nice and roomy for 1 but holds 2 at a squeeze (1&1/2 ). I can sew on a couple more peg loops to keep the wind out. Its really low profile and green so blends in well. Oh it cost £9.99 so if it lasts 10 years then I'm more than happy.
only time will tell how it fares but I'm happy thus far. 
My dad was in his trusty catspaw which is a great little tent thats no longer available!
