Hi, in the past I did a hike / camping trip as part of gold Duke of Edinburgh in Snowdonia. I'd like to start doing trips like this again, beginning by returning to Snowdonia as it was an area I liked a lot. However when I did these things before, I was borrowing the key pieces of kit and as such I'm not sure what I should be looking for.
Obviously it's a very wet and windy area, so what kind of tent is suitable? I'd most likely be traveling with some friends so 2 - 4 man tents would be what we're looking at. There isn't a concrete budget but really cheaper is better.
My parents have a tent and I'm fairly sure it wouldn't be suitable but I'd like to check with someone that knows more than I do because using that could be an option. It's something like "Eurohike Family Tent", a 4 man tent, and it looks like this I believe:

I have some other gear questions but they aren't tent related so I guess I'll put them elsewhere.
Short version:
1) Please recommend tents suitable for highly windy and wet areas. As cheap as possible and for 2 - 4 people.
2) Is the tent in the link above suitable?
Thanks for any help guys, I'm sure "please recommend me a tent" must be the standard question here.
