There's very few two man tents with room for three. You are more likely to find three man tents with just enough room for two. :wink:

Have a look at www.cheaptents.co.uk for a range of tents that meat your requirements - most of them are green....

Don't count of being able to find suitable spots for wild camping ever night. Some countries are less tolerant than others and some landscapes don't offer enough cover to allow you to camp, unnoticed.

Yeah, tents are usually designed to take only the number of people they state but with no bags, so it's quite normal to take a tent designed for one additional person than is actually going to sleep in it.

The three of you may want to take a 3 berth tent to save weight, but you'll be pretty cramped and may have to leave all your stuff outside the tent. Might be worth going for a 4 berth tent instead so you can keep your bags inside and be comfortable. You definitely won't all fit in a 2 berth tent.

Do you know roughly how much you can afford to spend?

I'm considering a 2 berth Vango Tempest for two of us, the 3 berth version is here http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/vango-tempe ... nt-p139967 and there's one on Ebay which is currently still cheaper (although of course bidding will take the price up) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vango-Tempest ... 3f133edca5
