Beginning to think i'll bring the tent instead that way at least one of us will stay dry. LOL

Bugger - the only tent I've got is a 5 meter bell-tent. Too heavy to carry very far, and too big to pitch anywhere :(

So, I'll be bringing the tatonka 4.5x3 tarp, bivi, cot-bed & sleep mat and a doss bag.

Would one of you kind chaps help me rig up the tarp? I've only used it once, and that was in the garden, so it probably doesn't count...

yes, listen up kids, safe badger fumbling is paramount to your enjoyment of the natural world, how can you ask a Fox to respect you if you've not fondled a badger,

Is there badger boffing this weekend? I'd not prepared for that! I'd better bring the extra gritty lube for maximum enjoyment

Well, I've just gone an done it. Cash was burning a hole in my pocket, so now I've got a DD hammock on the way with some whoopie cushion system (whatever that is I don't know)

So you can all laugh at me as I either fail to put it up, break something the process, or fall out of it.
