Thanks a lot for the replies guys
There's an army surplus store in town, so I'll go along tomorrow and see if they'll sell me something reasonable.
I looked in the attic and just found a massive role of loft insulation. I'm pretty sure I can rig some up to a mat to make a decent pad.

Edit :: This thing is cheap as hell - would it do me any good?
Tents, Camping, Army Surplus and Outdoors Supplies - Leith Army Stores
And how about this inside it?

The comfort on that is -3c. So with a bivi bag that might go to what, -5c? And then, with the tarp set up correctly to protect me from wind, and a woolly sweater and jeans and woolly socks and gloves on and a hat... What aremy chances? lol
One last thing, even though it hit -2last night - the minimum for the next 4 nights is a vast improvement :

The worst is 4c and the best is 13c. Crazy. I'm going to test it tomorrow, which will be 6c and see how I get on in the back garden.
