Yep Suspect, like when the weather is wild, having somewhere dry to change\sleep seems very important to me now!  Though the other guys manage it without a tent, I'm still a bit of a nubber !

Bit of a boob on their website.

The red one says  "RRP £235   £240"!

The green laser competition......

They are reorganising their website so things are all messed up.....

They also seem to have put the prices up a bit....

The red one was cheaper then the green one, I asked if they'd sell me the green one for the same price as the red one, and they said, aye - alright!

So, I got it for £224 + £10 delivery....

I still insist its either a tent, or a bivvy by itself.  Personally I still struggle to see the appeal of a tarp.  A 3x3 tarp with walking poles and bivvy bag is heavier than most lightweight tents, and for all that kit you get a giant kite with no head room.  I know some will say that you feel more outdoors under a tarp, but from my own experience I just end up trying to make a tarp the same shape as a tent anyway.  If you want to sleep under the stars then do it properly and just use a bivvy bag.  If you want some shelter, just use a tent :)  Looking forward to seeing your Laser Mike!

That said, a Tarptent (http://www.tarptent.com/) is perfectly acceptable in my book :)
