Hi All,
As a hammock sleeper, I'm after a bit of advice from those more experienced sleeping on the ground!
On the 10/11th June I'm doing a ~43 mile training walk in preparation for an 86 mile walk that I'm doing in November this year. I'll be starting at Goring and Streatley and following the Ridgeway Trail through to Ivinghoe Beacon. Due to the distance I'll find somewhere to camp overnight (likely wild camping), and I think it's a bit risky to bet on finding an ideal place to set up my hammock!
I could buy a bivvy, I understand some have space to store a rucksack. Another option is to use my DD Superlight 3x3 to make a tent (or just a covering) with a DD Magic Carpet as a ground sheet (I'd be tempted to buy cheapish walking poles for this option, I'd like to try walking poles anyway).
I'm not looking to spend a fortune, but this is unlikely to be a one-off requirement, so a survival bivvy wouldn't be a good option
Any advice appreciated!
Gary
