Get yourself a decent sleeping bag as you will need one of those wherever you end up sleeping. That bag looks good & you have a lot of choice at that price range. A mat is also a good thing to have. After that you can think about a bivi-bag or hammock, with a tarp of some kind. All can be found fairly cheaply with hammocks & tarps being found at £30 odd a piece if not cheaper. A tent may be a good way to go if you think you will get the use out of one but many ground dwellers at our meets just use a tarp as top cover.
I have no idea what kind of hammock / tarp to get. Would anyone be able to lend me one for the night ?
I hope you guys don't mind but I've invited a few swingers from hammockforums.com... one of them is a lady-type, so behave*
* and she'll be bringing her boyfriend, so double-behave
I bought a Tenth Wonder hammock from eBay. They're only about £17 & I'm pleased with it.

Yes I keep my old 3x3m DD Tarp in the back of the car for emergencies, so you can give that a go if you want. Can probably dig out my old 'Ticket to the Moon' hammock as well; these a good value for money & a good way to get into hammocking. I will be bringing along my bridge hammock to show spandit, so you can have a look at that as well if you want.

Wow, that's a lot of money - perhaps that's what they're worth now but I thought it would be cheaper! Hardly suitable for backpacking, though, is it?
