What you want is a Rocktrail 1/2 man backpacking tent. I have one I no longer use, I'm of the age where I like to walk into a tent now, not crawl in on knackered old knees! It has been through howling gales english monsoons and never leaked. It weighs 1.7kg and packs to about 27cmx15cm. It's a single skin jobbie in green and grey. I got mine at Lidl several years ago so not sure if they still do them.
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain~anon
available from go outdoors.

Theres a couple in my daily ebay search, but Tesco do some pretty good small domes and you would probably get 2 for the same price? A 2 man dome will be easier to get dressed in than any 1 man tent, trust me i have a few.

Seen this just unsure of the quality I won't expect much for £35 but I'd like to hear if anyone has one..
Most of the complaints in reviews seem to be from people who have no idea small tents need the vents left open from experience..
Thats the only snag with ebay stuff, you never know what your going to get. That said the op is taking a young lad with him, it might not be a regular thing, for the odd night out that or something similar would probably be fine, on the plus side it's cheap.
There are so many on ebay 2nd hand, thats why i cant help myself and have far too many, have you seen these ones?
it all depend how minimal you want to go, i have one of these here somewhere, but saying that i have a 3 man im getting rid of and a Lidl 2 man that ive never used, i am supposed to be doing a bootsale but everytime i try it rains!
