The fact that you have managed to burst the vango at least twice would suggest that you should pick a better place to lay down, we have 2 thermarests had them over 10 years and neitner have had a puncture.
Thanks for the insight.

BA Goretex Bivvy Bag
It's buying time.
Have you decided on which BA bivi bag yet, The large or regular sized one?
Right. 3 days of research and reccomendations has lead me to this:
DD Tarp 3m x 3m
Gelert X-Treme Lite 1200 Sleeping Bag - Green/Silver Grey, Right Zip
BA Goretex Bivvy Bag
BCUK member 'Crosslandkelly' stove and can set up for free.
Mess tins and other miscellaneous cooking gear
It's buying time.
So what mat will it be? And please post a picture of all your gear assambled when you have it all!
I assume the Gelert X-Treme Lite 1200 Sleeping Bag is synthetic and not down? I can't tell the difference because I'm a numpty.
Hm, well, I was simply going to go for this. http://www.amazon.co.uk/British-Arm...1395659907&sr=8-1&keywords=Gore-tex+bivvy+bag
Edit: I prefer buying from Amazon. Usually they have great service and quick delivery, but perhaps I should look for a cheaper version?
Will the guylines supplied with the DD tarp be enough, do you reckon or should I buy paracord? Will any do or does it have to be specific?
I have this bag

It's warm, packs fairly small and light for the price. But it is cosy. (In both senses of the word)
