for what it's worth, some advice on tents:
after a wet and very very windy weekend at the dragon rally, tunnel style tents were just flying around like kites (if they weren't lying flat on the ground). All depends upon what weather you expect to encounter. But i'm now re-evaluating my tent and looking for one with poles that cross in the middle.
Something like this:

Dad had the two man version of that and it's budge an inch. My tunnel style one on the other hand flattened itself twice while we were in the pub!
