Retrobike Touring.

I've been talked into a multi day hike and need a shortlist of small lightweight tents, less than 2 kg ideally nearer 1.5 kgs and not super expensive. I'm compact so not looking for too much comfort, porch space.
Any others I should check out.
I have a Robens Arrowhead. Weighs somewhere around 1.5-1.8kg depending on which website you look at, and cost less than £90.
 
I've not done a multiday ride before so I'm planning a test/intro trip. NCN45 from Salisbury to Avebury, then turn right onto the Ridgeway to Streatley and home by train. Two days riding, roughly 40-50 miles a day.
The bike is fine, I think, the main thing I'm working out is what bags I need on the bike. I'm thinking of making some based on learnmyog.com patterns.
 
Sounds like a nice route, what bike are you taking ?
Merlin Malt. The Brooks saddle I've had for years, and newly fitted On-One Geoff bars and Billy Bonkers tyres, mean it's very comfortable and rolls nicely on lanes and tracks.
Making your own bags, hats off to you !
I make my clothes for reenactment so I'm moderately handy that way, but I just realised that being a Saxon reenactor I haven't made anything with zips before!
