• Turns out that 3x3m of ripstop nylon is absolutely palatial.

    Made up a tarp yesterday with two 1.5x3m pieces. Central seam and lots of toggle points. Bungees to the tree and bike.

    Since the mate on the 990 is supposed to fit underneath as well, 3x3 would be more than enough space for two people and kit, and still fold underneath as a ground mat.

    Might see about a separate groundsheet and a 1.5x2m tarp for less space and smaller overall size.

    Not the worst sleep outside. I was actually incredibly hot all night. I thought I’d be cold but I was certainly not that.
