Sorry, if this is yet another sleeping bag thread. But, I thought I could get some expert help on here. I'm doing the Lyke Wake Walk in mid February and will be bivvy it over 3/4 days, about 12 miles a day. I've a good Gore-Tex bivvy bag, namely the old Survival Aids bivvy bag and probably the use Survival aussie basha if need be.
The question is what sleeping bag would be ideal for this time of year, I've at the moment a Stormlite Rollin' Clouds 300 down bag and maybe use a Snugpak travelite 500 bag with that. I do have a Paramo Velzo smock and Lowe Alpine tights and maybe sleep in them as a back-up.
I've been looking at some sleeping bags on the market,but I would much prefer to the above if all possible. Btw, I've done some bivvy about 20 years ago and must admit I'm a bit rusty after using a tent in that time.
Cheers.
