I've picked up the Tarptent Scarp 1 - http://www.tarptent.com/scarp1.html - for my UK Tour. I took it out camping once so far and its great - easy to set up, compact, and lightweight. Plenty of room too - its essentially big enough for 1.5 people (you'd have to be pretty snug with another person in order to share the tent with them) and comes with enough room to keep your bags dry too.

Skelator - have you embarked on your Lon Las Cymru yet? A friend of mine sent me the link to this forum and I thought I'd poke my head in. I'm doing a tour of the UK and Ireland and will be doing the Lon Las Cymru sometime in September. I will probably be doing it in reverse - Cardiff to Holyhead (to then hop a ferry over to Dublin for the Irish leg of my tour) - but haven't found anyone who has done it themselves. I'll be camping (the Wales/Irish parts at least) for the most part and will probably try my hand at Wild Camping if I can't find a campsite (or for a few other reasons) along the way.
I'll certainly be doing it this September. Going to keep a blog going on the trip, though unsure how frequently it will be updated (especially while going solo). All I can find on the trip is either the Sustrans package (which isn't that helpful) or threads etc on it from a few years ago - nothing current.
