Camping and Kit

I prefer a more back to basics camp and will usually use a hammock, I also add a tarp to the set up if it's windy or showers are forecast.  I also own an ARB Roof Tent which I use when I'm after some luxury or in a rush.​

It also gets pretty dark at night but it's great having a walk around the woods after dark to see what wildlife is around, there are quite a few bats that pass over the basecamp area at night too which is a great experience.
