I'm off to Wales next month and have been debating whether to take a one / two man tent (probably the Vango Banshee 200) as I was wondering how a tarp would fare in heavy rain.
I know that it will shelter me from the falling rain but I was more concerned with rain washing underneath and thought that a tent with an inbuilt ground sheet would be a solution to this.
After seeing the excellent video in the thread that Shewie posted http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=113632 I am pretty much set on taking a tarp again.
I'll probably rig it up like that or as I did a while ago like this and take a bivy bag.
I guess that if I rig it up somewhere on level ground and not at the bottom of a hill it'll stay pretty dry.
Has anyone had any trouble with being washed out with this type of set up?
