I'm still trying to work out what I have to do before heading and what I want to do.  Not sure what time that'll put me there at

What's that got to do with sleeping bags?

Nowt at all, apart from the fact that I'll eventually climb into one on Saturday night.  Oops

Just a quick question.... im looking for a new sleeping bag with around £100 to spend. Any recomendations advice will be much apreciated  its for a bit of wild camping in and around the Mournes.... an all year round sleeping bag is prefferable. Ive read through everyones kit and some sound ideal ! but what would you all recomend ?

[RedLeader]

I think this is a bargain:
Mountain Hardware Lamina 20 @ Cotswolds on offer @ £90

My wife got me £100 worth of vouchers from Cotswalds for crimbo and i had spied this very sleeping bag and another .. the never summer bag ( cant remember the brand )  but i ended up buying bits and bobs that i needed instead. kind of regretting not getting a sleeping bag with the voucher now lol

I can vouch for that sleeping bag. Its great, I've had in on summit camps and its toasty warm. Don't think I've ever  been sleeping in it when it hit the -7^o "comfort rating"

Well worth the money I paid for it.

[NorthernSky]

Make/model : RAB alpine 600
Price : think it was 240 when i got it a few years back
Lower comfort rating :  -7
Down or Synthetic : down
Weight : 1.1kg
Thoughts : pertex endurance it lovely to touch  and its super soft inside. very warm when you need it, and just open the zip if you get too hot. nice neck baffle and zip pocket inside. dry bag, and storage cloth bag. haven't used it terrible amounts since buying but i think i'll have it for many years, can't see why not as long as it's stored right

[Ed]

Make/model : Snugpak Chrysalis 3
Price : 80
Lower comfort rating :  -5 °c
Down or Synthetic : Synthetic
Weight : 1.6kg
Thoughts : Nice bag, has always kept me warm, but I grow tired of how little it packs down. When I store it inside my pack, it takes up a lot of the pack before I even get started with the rest of my stuff.

As soon as the pipedreams are back in stock with Alpkit I'll be ordering a PD600 - hopefully in time for my birthday end of February.
