I got this off E-bay in December but I have since decided I have far too many tents and this is not the one for me. So it is up for sale. It is all in good condition. I propose to supply it with 12 * 2 gram Terra Nova titanium pegs; if you would rather have the 1 gram toothpicks then you could have those instead. I don't know if it was originally supplied with patches of spare material, but if there were any I don't have them. Otherwise it is all complete. The weight according to my scales is 892 grams.

Yours for £137 posted, UK addresses only. £10 less if you can collect: Berkshire/Newbury or possibly Maidenhead.

Here's a link to the auction I got it from:

 Hi Adrian

Have you pitched the tent or ever used it ? 

The link to ebay is confusing as from the dimensions stated it looks like a laser comp spec and 890g seems a little heavy for the photon.  

Can you confirm it has no holes or rips nor broken zips no mould or peeling silicone on the fly and the tent still has plenty of life in it. 

If it is the laser comp would you take £100 with a pick up from maidenhead ? If the photon £120 ?

Hi Sam.

I have pitched the tent on my living room carpet but not outdoors.

It is definitely a Photon. If you subtract the pole cover and the bags, and substitute the 1 gram pegs,  the weight comes down to 762 grams.

I can't find any holes or rips and the zip is fine. There are no signs of deterioration of the fabric.

Maidenhead is where I work, so it might be possible for us to meet up in the early evening. Then you could see the tent for yourself.

Hi Adrian , sorry for the slow response, Even though I would like a photon for really lightweight summer overnighters Ive decided that that I will stick with my Akto for the time being. Mainly being due to financial reasons. Sorry to disapoint you. I'm sure its a nice tent and hope you sell it quickly.

Hi Adrian.
Did you sell this tent?
If not, I'd be interested. I don't live too far away, so easy to view/collect etc.
Will also be very your way (Reading) on the 29th May too.
Anyway, let me know.

I still have the tent.

I have since discovered that the small buckle that joins the flysheet to take the strain off the bottom of the zip is partially broken. It still clips and holds together, but it would be preferable to replace it. I can send a photo if you want to see.

I have therefore reduced the price to £125 posted, to take the buckle into account. It is still £10 less if you collect.

Send me PM if you want to arrange to visit or if you would like to do business by post.

Hi Adrian,
I may well have missed the boat on this one but I was wondering if your tent is still available?
Many thanks,
