The last post made me smile. :clap:

I think EDTEAMSLR has it about right - GO FOR A LARGER 3 MAN TENT.

If you ride a pushbike or walk and really do need to cut down on bulk & weight then go for a single lightweight jobby otherwise go for a model which allows you to sleep without having to "mount" you're best mate! doh

Thanks for all comments - I am relieved no one actually laughed! I will take the whole kit & caboudle for a run out later this month - should be a decent test, unless of course the weather stays like this, in which case i will test drive a Mankini !!!

It all boils down to what your willing to manage day-to-day. You can pack for the hike (ride) or you can pack for the camp. There's one extreme or the other. What you need to find is that happy medium somewhere between the two that your happy with.

Are you camping because you want too? Then you might be more willing to manage gear that's heavier and more voluminous.

Or are you hauling camping gear because you think you may need it? Then ask yourself, are you willing to carry it all and never use it.

Got home to find the Postman has delivered my new gear
Force Ten Nitro 200 Tent & Lifeventure Downlight 900 Sleeping Bag - both are light and packed very neatly so i am happy with them. Will find out how warm & wind resistant they are in due course
