smufter Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Would you contemplate doing a weeks drive and survive with only a good quality 60" brolly for shelter? Bearing in mind you would be going during the height of Summer, so hopefully not too much rain or wind and the temperatures should be good, even at night. Most I've done under it so far is a 48 hour session which was fine. But 7 nights????? Thoughts..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowmanstevo Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Yea deffo,it's a bit cramped compared to a bivvy obviously,but as long as your brolly is in good knick it's fine. Did 5 nights at Cromwell in mine with no probs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smufter Posted September 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Soory buddy it was just info, as for the drive and survive, i reckon i would stink worse than i do after seven days, no way. There's a decent shower block there and I will change my clothes on a daily basis....... Might go without a shave though..... oh the pleasure in that for a week.

snowmanstevo Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Baby wipe baths are great !!!!! Seriously,the only real prob (not that it's much of a prob) is storing the extra kit you take for a week. Can be a little cramped but with it being summer you'll be spending most time outside anyway.

smufter Posted September 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 What about grub and bait, you need a hell of a lot. Food package available (which is supposed to be the mutts) and about 10kgs will see me through. And there are bait freezers in the cabin....
