Make sure you test your tent in your backyard/locally every damn day you have off work or whatever. There's nothing quite like using a last minute bought tent for a long trip only to have it fail on the 3rd day.

If you are willing to spend upwards of 400 dollars or 400 hundred Euros, in you case. I have heard outstanding things about the MSR Hubba tents.

I'd like to get into bikepacking,,

any recommendations on a £500 or less bike that has lugs for panniers, doesn't weigh over 12kg,

I've been looking at 650b/29er hard tails, even toying with the idea of a single speed as I've come from BMX and end of the day if its too steep I don't mind pushing it

>single speed

hope you don't live near any steep hills
You may find a bike for 500 but unless its used it probably won't be a very good one. if you plan to do lots of paved roads then i'd recommend making sure you have a lockout on the front sus to save you a lot of energy. For dirt roads I like full sus but the ones i usually find are shit too.
