Long time no post!
I'm looking to spend about 5 days in the highlands within the next month or so- it looks like the weather I've been hoping for hasn't arrived, so I've given up waiting!
This trip, I want to wild camp, but don't want to lug around my 2.5kg tent. I want something that's v.v.v. easy to set up, and v.v.v. cheap to buy, but will keep me dry, and safe from the wind, and will not weigh me down so much it's a chore to walk!
I'm hoping to stay up at the top of a couple of the peaks- maybe the one and only Mr B Nevis so I can watch the sun rise over Britain..
I've been looking at army issue bivvy bags- would this be suitable? My sleeping bag is warm enough for this time of year, so long as it doesn't start snowing...(I wouldn't put anything past this summer though!).
Any suggestions? bivvy bag a bad idea for this?
Thanks! :You_Rock_
