What is it about us planning a night camping at Kielder and it being VERY cold!!! Current weather forecast for Friday reckons a high of 12 degrees (fairly pleasant really) but a low of 0 degrees which is going to make for a pretty chilly night!
Michael has, well done what he does best and impulse bought a Hennessey Hammock off eBay. In fairness though it was a cracking deal. So now Chris has his old one meaning we’re all kitted out for wild camping!
The plan for keeping warm this time (after learning from our last trip to Kielder) is;
Michael: His homemade sleeping bag/cocoon style cover which is actually really warm in testing.
Me: My nice new (rather large) double sleeping mat which should stop me rolling off it through the night.
Chris: Being new going for the most experimental option of a single sleeping mat and a fleece blanket (hrm… we’ll see!).
The ration packs are back out in an attempt to prove to Chris that the Fruit Dumplings with Custard are just about 5 star standard (possibly… they are nice though!).
No doubt there’ll be another blog up here soon about what went wrong or how cold we all were! Toughen us up ready for what Scotland Highlands has to offer. Not long now…
