Thanks teethgrinder, kind offer, but I'd rather not risk borrowing anyone else's kit given the quantities of alcohol and mischief likely to be involved.

Can you not get a small mozzy net and hang it from your tarp?

Or you can you get head nets?

Head net and a MW bag will be fine.
Spewing up in it might be amusing.

Thanks all. Basic MW one ordered. Figured it's a good start and handy to have as a cheap backup, even if I upgrade later.

New midge net and bottle of Smidge also ordered 🙂

I'll report back after next weekend.

[b][u]UPDATE[/u][/b]

I'm happy to report that the Mountain Warehouse bag seems like an okay bit of kit for the money and did the job well.

Not that it got a very thorough test because:

A) it was a lovely warm dry night, under a tarp, with a second tarp as a groundsheet.

B) I didn't go to bed till 3:30am and I was up again at 7.

C) I was too pissed to really care by that point.

But the quality seemed good and it was only a bit moist in the morning (way less than plastic survival bag would have been).

One thing I have learnt is that I am too old/fat to sleep on old skool foam roll mats. Self-inflating mat will be required next time.

Thanks all.
