That's OK then!  If there is power we'll have the fan heater too! Very Happy
I've done colder. January on the North Yorkshire moors in a bivi. Had to thaw the boots out in the morning, and they
were in the bottom of the sleeping bag!

They pack down to the size of a loaf of bread too!


Don't bother bud, the best, (and cheapest), I have found throughout my many years in Scouts, is an ex-army arctic bag, (soldier 95 pattern), for around £230 - £40 off fleabay plus a goretex bivi-bag, (again Soldier 95), for £15-£35, again fleabay is the warmest sleep system I have found, for added warmth, a silk liner will toast your nads so to speak.

At around £90 all in, this is far cheaper, and to my mind, far superior than any Snugpak offering. I have one or two mates who are ex-forces & every one of them has regretted getting rid of their arctic gear since leaving the army.


I ended up getting a pair of Snugpak sleeping bags.   £29.99 each. Capable of being zipped together!  Not to military standard but comfort down to -2deg C. and
OK down to -7deg C!
Adequate!  The average 'fridge sits at +4deg C!


The average fridge doesn't tend to be full of ground frost first thing in the morning Shocked
I'm sure Rosie will keep you warm Wink if not get the dogs to lay on top as well Laughing
Gutted I'm gonna be missing this trip north,
I really enjoyed the jan meet wish I'd stayed overnite and played again with matt an chris next day Cool

So what's happening Marky? Are we up with POCUK on the site they have booked or are we running from two sites?
Is it the same price as theirs? You haven't told us where the sites are?  scratch
