When/where what weather in the UK?  Getting miles in day after day or just "wild camping" ?  Ease of pitch and small  footprint size is good for long days. For long solo trips I still prefer and mostly use my Silnylon Tarptent Notch .  I have also owned the Durston Drop Xmid 1P since 2019 which is also good but has a larger footprint.  I had a Gatewood Cape find it too small and poor build quality I needed to repair it after just a few trips. Stitching failed undertention on tie outs and one of the main zip seams. Newer batches may be better built.  If you want something very good in the wind and don't mind the footprint size,  a Trailstar is a good choice. Can get a separate inner or use a splashbivi. The Alpkit Tarpstar isn't too bad for as budget.   I would avoid the DD Tarps pyramid as it's not big and poor build.

I have an older Notch. Very solid tent except in sandy soil.

r/UltralightLooking for a 1 man, outer pitch tent that doesn’t use trekking poles.

Since you mention inner and outer tents, I assume you want a double wall? And since you mention the UK, I assume that's where you'll primarily be using it? While I have a number of UL DCF single wall shelters, and several LW double wall shelters, for UK conditions and a DW requirement, I think I'd look long and hard at the Tarp Tent Moment, or Notch with aftermarket carbon poles. An even more "bomber" DW would be the Bonfus Middus 1P... it's a DW dcf Mid that I think would handle any UK weather. Like the two Tarp Tents, it can be had with a solid inner which is what I'd want in UK conditions. Lastly, the Trekkertent Saor in dcf is made in the UK and would meet your requirements. Best Wishes...

r/UltralightUpgrading to more spacious tent: X mid 1/2 or Lanshan 2?

Consider Tarptent. I have both the Notch and Protrail and like both for different reasons and applications.

Looks pretty cool, though maybe Little gimmicky with the two entry options. I have both Protrail and Notch, and this seems like a cross between them. If that diagonal seam does not flap around in the wind it could be great. Gotta love that durable fabric and light weight!

r/UltralightBest Tent for Section Hiking the CBT (Washington) in September?

Do you hike with poles? If so, the single-walled Zpacks Hexamid can be set up with your hiking poles and is USD $499. My Zpacks single-walled tents perform poorly in rainy, humid conditions but making this compromise will save you weight. Tarptent makes several double-walled tents for less than USD $500 that perform well, and there are also some excellent Chinese-made Lanshan tents on Aliexpress. My double-walled Tarptent performs much better than my single-walled Zpacks tents when it's set up, but it's also much heavier to carry.
