I like camping, but hate erecting a tent (maybe I have camped too many times before  :)).
We are planning a ride from Cape Town to Victoria Falls and back early in August and I need a tent.

Has anyone tried this tent before? It is a "Campmaster Instant 2" tent - can sleep two. Just throw it and it erects by itself - wonderful! and at R399 at Makro a givaway.

The only snag is it's size and loading it on to a bike. It weighs 2.6kg which is neglible, but folds to a flat round object of 78cm across. Packed it is still bendable and one would most probably be able to secure it to your bike by folding it over the top box with a cargo net.

Has anyone tried this before? I don't want to go on a 5000km expedition with the wrong equipment!
