I’m going on my Duke of Edinburgh in a couple of weeks and would like to buy a tent. I would also like one for general use. I’ve looked at some in the <£40 price range. I stumbled upon the Ryde 2 Man Dome Tent from Eurohike. Firstly, is this a decent tent? And also, it is 3kg. Will this be a major inconvenience when walking up to 30 kilometres? Any suggestions to other tents?
I am going Hiking and I am not sure what to wear? trainers, shorts ?
I know I am going to wear trainers of course…what else do I have to bring with?
We are going to have a Picnic on the mountain too, should I bring my Dome tent with too?
I need a good tent for less than 0. I want either a "tall dome tent" or a 1-2 man tent. I was going to get this one. http://www.campmor.com/outdoor/gear/Product___36298
If a get a 1-2 man tent I want it to have this type of front.

The reason I want that specific front for a smaller tent is that I can leave my shoes under the covered area and they will be dry after the rain/dew hits. Sorry if the price limit is too low.
Also I want to be able to find it in a store because if they let me set it up there I can check the dimensions in real life.
I have various types.
A gas lantern
An ordinary battery lantern
And a couple of those LED battery lanterns
The LED are very bright and light to carry as well so was thinking of just using those. The gas gives off a good light though but maybe not too safe in a small tent?
Also, are those wind up radios any good?
I have a 2-3 man dome tent
