Alright lads (and lasses),
Time has come for me to purchase a tarp. I'm pretty much set on a DD as they seem to be well priced and of high quality, though feel free to suggest others of similar prices. But I'm not sure which size to get: 3x3 of 3x4.5 metres.
The reason I'm unsure is that I'll most likely be camping with my family some of the time and therefore extra space will be needed, which draws me to the XL.
However I'm not sure what, if any, drawbacks there are to the larger tarp for when I'm out on me tod. Also can the XL be pitched with the ridge along the 3 metre length?
I'm not bothered about the extra weight because I'm fairly large meself...
Thanks,
Dave
P.S. I did try a search and got lots of reviews of tarps, but nowt about selecting them,
