A little bit about equipment ...
This is our tent, and we have spent about 20 nights in it on this tour so far.
We purchased it from a Decathlon in France in 2007, and spent about 20 nights in it then, including the time around the PBP. Between then and now we've spent a handful of nights in it here and there.
It is classed as a 3-person tent, but we find it a reasonably roomy 2 person tent. I don't think 3 people would be too comfortable in there. And has stood up to a lot of bad weather.
