• I'd be really interested to hear how you get on/ got on with this trip as I want to get out now and do some camping myself, I'm just a bit concerned I'd freeze to death...

    What did you sleep in and where, and what was the weather/ temperature like?

  • It was cold, about -4ºC. I slept in a single wall tent (Six Moon Designs - Lunar Solo) and a 3 season sleeping bag in a bivvy bag. I wore a down jacket too, and 3 pairs of socks and all my cycling clothes still on. I was warm enough, no problem. Not as warm as I would have been at home in bed, but still not too bad.

    We camping in a ruined settlement near Dartmeet, not supposed to camp there, but the next part of the route was a 5 mile trudge across open moorland, and it was windy up there and sub-zero, best to stop and tackle that in the morning.
