    Hi all
    I would really appreciate your help.
    I have decided to sell my Hartford L and get something smaller.Read horror stories of the Vango Orchy not being good in the wind so took that off the top of my list but that is the type of size that I am looking for.Also need to be able to stand upright in it(bad back). Sewn in ground sheet.Big enough for small table and 2 chairs.Easy to erect by myself or minimal help from one other.Able to withstand our glorious weather (not!)
    I have a small budget of £150.I have read the reviews but cannot choose between....
    Vango Icarus 500
    Vango Tigris 400
    Easy Camp Licata
    Which one would you choose????

    Thanks in advance Tania

    I've got the predecessor to the Easy Camp Licata (the only difference seems to be the SIG) and while its definitely at the cheaper end of the market and will never match up to top end tents it's still a worthy tent in its own right. It's stood up to some pretty harsh weather and has never leaked.

    The one thing you may well miss is the porch you have with your Hartford. I keep meaning to build some sort of canopy as we have nowhere to cook in inclement weather with 4 of us in the tent.
    I went to the zoo recently. The only animal there was a small dog. It was a shihtzu
