3 so far (I think), plus two nights ago I went out for an overnighter with the dog in tow, but despite making him a nice shelter with his favourite blanket and so forth, he wimped out and made a nusiance of himself until I gave it up just after midnight and went home. I think he's showing his age. I ended up sleeping in a sleeping bag on the living room floor, rather than wake SWMBO, as she had slept poorly the night before.
Shame, because I had gone with my lighter sleeping bag (first use) and minimal kit - just a bivi bag and no tarp. There was a full moon, I was toasty warm, and really comfortable... and the dog kept coming over and pawing at my face and whining.
Next time he stays behind.

It feels odd to be home this weekend! I'm sorting out my bivi today (trying to restore its proofing, it's a bit sponge-like at the moment) and that's making me miss even more being outdoors. Still, got another weekender coming up soon at a lovely spot where we cut a lot of ash last year, so there'll be plenty of good seasoned wood for a big fire.
Is it okay to admit here that I was on the sofa in my sleeping bag yesterday?

Brockwell is the name of my local park, between Brixton, Tulse Hill and Herne Hill. I know there are people who overnight in there, but I'm not sure I'd want to meet them! The other Brockwell sounds much more like it.
