Lightweight tent recommendations?

The difference between a bivvy and even a very small, single-skin tent is immense, because you're not in contact with the fabric (other than groundsheet) in a tent. Much more restful, as you don't get soaked in condensation.

Better comfort but barley any extra space for cooking sitting up e.t.c That was what I was referring to. Sorry to be unclear.

Looking at the reviews of the Gelert and lanterne's experience, it seems I was lucky with mine. OTOH, the only real problem reported seems to be the poles - I'd be inclined to just bring some gaffa tape with me as the tent itself is reported to be dandy and there's nothing to touch it for anywhere near the same price.

B&q sell some alu tubing that I've looked at for potential tent pole replacement should a section snap on the tent I use with my girlfriend. Not certain it's correct but a bit of checking and you may be able to repalce you fire glass poles with some alu ones using this.
