I got the cloths, i need tent, sleeping bag, backpack,

Im going today to see if i can get the Pro Action Hike Lite 1 Person Tent.

Im finding it hard to choose a sleeping bag as i want a real good one and am willing to pay good money for it.
I want it to be 4 season and easy dryed if it gets wet, also light.

If you have a tent, there's no reason why your sleeping bag would get wet. You could buy a water proof stuff sack to be uber sure aswell.

I think it's placement makes it all but impossible to get to from land, it's infront of a large cliff. The blurb does say there are sheep, I'm guessing they can get there by land though :)

definately looks like you could naigate round the waters edge to get there though I suppose it may be a different story when yor on the cliff!! Looks likea nice spot to spend a night and to awkward to get to for drunken muppets to wreck the place.
