I was in a bivy with the mat just on the ground. If it turns out there's a puncture in the underside then fair-does. If it's the seam, top or valve then it's getting sent back. May just stick to foam mats with the bivy in future as it's cheap and simple rather than knocking up a groundsheet or buying a tent.
Really enjoyed the whole trip, even the hike-a-bike bits don't aeem so bad now. Few months at the gym should make it easier in Wales...
