Get yourself down to costwolds, tiso, jackson sport, argos, army surplus, beg, borrow or steal. You will be coming to this meet.

just get urself down to cotswold or tiso or jacksons and tell them what your lookin they'll sort you out. You cant really go wrong if you judt get a down one rated as low as you can justify/afford to pay. within reason tho you dont wanna be payin 300quid for a sleeping bag rated to minus 20 or anything!

*see 666pack beat me to it there!

Call Alpkit and they'll make sure it's here by the weekend - they're good like that. They do a good range of cheap self inflating mats too you can get while you're about it!

Has my wife been complaining again  ::) Unfortunately I only have a 250 weight synth filled summer bag spare. Anyone who wants to borrow it is welcome tho. With a set of baselayers or maybe a bivi bag it would prob be fine. The forcast is for temps not to drop below 0 on Sat night.

The Tiso website doesn't have much variety in bags at the mo but Cotswolds do. Plough over to the Boucher road, they're really helpful. Every time I go I come home with all sorts of crap - I just can't help myself :D

Get yourself something sorted Wolf and get up to Donard on Saturday. Less talk more action :)!
