    I know what you mean, I definitely have to get out in the Lakes more.

    Early onset Alzheimer's! I just couldn't remember whether I was supposed to keep the screw plug in or not. In my defence, it has been a while since I used it :) screw in or out, either way, I couldn't get it to stay lit :( BTW, what did you use for guy lines? The ones from MLD are pants.

    Thanks Matt, some good advice & food for thought there. I might have more question later. It's a ULA Ohm 2.0. I like it apart from the way the back rounds slightly when it rammed with gear. I might look onto solid/mesh back plates. I quite liked Snozz's new pack though. I can't remember who...

    I can see the benefit of a bivi, helping keep you on the Neoair and another layer of fabric. My large Alpkit bivi was just not big enough for me - felt like I was in a body bag. Im liking the look of the oooknest tub, but do worry that I will be sliding off the thermarest all night. Ho hum...

    Lol, now you tell me ;) I don't have much experience with the competition, but after just one night, I'm certainly not looking elsewhere. Good job really seen as I've bought one :) Thanks again buddy for the loan :)

    Do it! Honestly, i was amazed at how sturdy it was in winds that would have had my regular tent buckling. Even better, from ordering to delivery was three weeks for me - lightning fast by MLD standards :)

    Thanks Elen, Belles Knott was no sooooo bad, but there is a less steep path round Blea Crag, it's a greater distance, but not by much. You should definitely head up to the Lakes :)

    Cheers Pete, Ideally we would have loved to go back up to Scotland, but the Lakes are so much closer. It made it easier for a one nighter with a decent walk :)

    Yes, definitely :) Out of the three components I took, Neo Air, Down bag & Alpkit Bivi. The Thermarest was the star performer. Small pack size, light weight and very comfortable, it's a keeper. The down bag is great in the hammock (although I use a top quilt now) and tent camping, but is...

    Having spent most of the summer keeping our respective families occupied, Snozz & I decided to head off for a bit of adventure. Making a departure from our usual hanging trips, we decided to Bivi in the Lake District. The only problem was, i had no Bivi kit. So after buying something to sleep...

    They're on the MLD site, cheaper than getting them from Germany too!
