    good widemouth stainless steel -bottle?

    I have a Human Gear bottle cap for my Nalgene bottle - looking on their site, the lid is also compatible with Camelbak Better Bottles. Unlike the Guyot Designs one they appear to be readily available in the UK, albeit with a hefty price tag. http://humangear.com/capcap-compatibility.html

    Inflatable mats & pillow users

    I'm a side sleeper so really miss having a couple of proper pillows when camping. I used an inflatable pillow from Decathlon add extra height to a jumper in a stuffsack. Only a fiver and folds down to nothing. I think the depression in the middle makes it better most of the other cheapies.
