Thanks everyone - we did a pitstop on the way back at Decathlon and now have Pink walking boots and rucksack.... Joy! LOL! She is a good kid who loves the outdoors (as I type she is making a new home for the Woodlice she found under a rock in the orchard.) Good times :)

Yeah, I'm kinda with you there on the height thing. I have a Coleman 2 man (read 1 man) tent which I love but I am trying to shave pack weight. The Coleman is 2.2kg. I would happily Bivvy and Tarp all the time, but having recently had someone go through my kit whilst off for a shower its put me...

LOL!Sporks are the scourge of humanity!

Hiya, Having given up on a hooped bivvi, I have come across this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Vango-Talas-One-Person-Tunnel-Tent/dp/B00H5IPJ6K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1440914794&sr=8-1&keywords=1+person+tent Anyone used one or have any thoughts? Now the weather is starting to get a little soggier...

Thanks everyone! :)

Last October we adopted a little girl and today for the first time I took her to the Peaks for a little bit of outdoors goodness. Nothing major just a ramble into the woods, a bacon butty and then little one having to use a compass to find the trail again. She also found a fallen birch and...

Thanks everyone!!!

Hello! Anyone have a RSK MK6 they fancy parting with? Not bothered if it has the paracord wrap or not - its for a project idea I have tinkering with. Funds waiting Thank you! :)

Yeah, I like the idea but they do weigh about as much as my 1 man tent.... I usually use an Alpkit Hunka XL bivy bag and UST tarp. https://www.alpkit.com/products/hunka-xl http://www.heinnie.com/ultimate-survival-base-tarp-for-one-person Maybe I will shelf this idea! :)

Thanks for all the continued support chaps! I usually get up at 550am everyday regardless - so quite a shock when I looked at my watch. I think i was calm because I have wandered here lots over the years and camped here before on many occasions with friends, so it all felt familiar. Next one...

Hello! I fancy a hooped Bivy and have been looking at this: http://www.outdoorgb.com/p/the_snugpak_stratosphere_hooped_bivvi/?utm_source=froogle&utm_medium=directory&utm_content=GBR&currency=GBP&country=GBR&SelectedBundle=153403&gclid=CNqh-fO8vscCFcHnGwodwGIEYg has anyone used one of these or...

Hiya, Just been on the Alpkit website and noticed this - could be interesting if your into that sort of thing? https://www.alpkit.com/bigshakeout/ :)

Yeah, I am looking at more discreet kit for these types of trips! The sad thing was the couple were about 500 ft from the carpark and using a GPS. Haven't got one and doubt I could work one and want one even less now :) I was the muppet who forgot the bacon. It smelt lovely after sitting in...

Well, I did it on my own! Firstly, sorry for the poor pics. Weather was touch and go, so left the camera at home and used the phone. I had planned to do my overnighter where I shoot, which is close to home. However, the area was water logged so I headed off to the peak district as there was a...

Strange, I did think I was being watched the whole time!

I'm back! I managed to ward of zombies, elude axe murderers and avoid werewolves. Report and pics to follow :) Thank you all again for moral support and "calming" stories!

Hiya, Good point Sir! - Wife has both locations though and I will drop her a text later with a OS ref as always. She also has the insurance on speed dial 1, undertaker speed dial 2 and auction house on speed dial 3 :)
