Hi Everyone,
I'm planning a 10 day trip to Iceland in September. It's mainly a photographic trip on a very low budget. I plan to hitch hike and camp.
I'll be taking my excellent RAB 3/4 season goose down sleeping bag and I need to decide on taking either a bivvi bag, or a one man tent.
I'm an experienced winter camper in the UK but this is different. I have to plan for very cold, wet, snow and windy conditions (whilst hoping for better!). They do have good campsites there with all mod cons and hot pools etc., but I might get caught out occasionally and have to camp in the wilds.
Can anyone offer any advice on this decision? Suggestions or recommendations on which tent or bivvi bag would also be appreciated.
Many thanks indeed.
Martin
