whats the point in havin a tent in a forest? you get shelter from the trees and warmth from the fire.

Soon ill have my own mountain in gear like all you,  :D

i wouldn't recomend you run out and buy a bivvy mate, its def an "aquired taste" as im sure most on here will confirm! Bivies are a whole other world of camping, prob best if you just get used to a tent etc 1st!

Now that I pay attention, the 7-8 Nov would be a prob for me. Could do any other weekend including the ones before and after though.
