Camp bed or thermarest is definitely the way to go in winter, still with a tarp configuration. Novembers not too bad.

Cant really fault my thermarest trail pro, 2'' thick when puffed up and so much warmer than my old ones which were 1 1/2'' and it is smaller too

Was looking at turning up at about 16:00 on Friday 4th October can make earlier if that helps.

Chris will be at the compasses at miday if you can make it, its a bit if a hike with out a car from the woods, if not i'll be at the compasses at 18:00, unless Chris wants a walk. At the mo I still have not heard about the access to the woods by car.

I am not sure what time others will be ariving.
