As regards the hooped bivi bag, I have a Terra Nova Jupiter which is the single hooped version of the saturn. I find it great for what its designed for, its not a tent just a place to kip outdoors. The hoop just allows a wee bit of movement around your head so you can say have a wee read or eat/drink without having to stick your head out into inclement weather. Two hooped version just gives you somewhere to store your pack.

How do you find it for length V ? Youre about the same height as me and as i understand it these things are or can be on the shorter size :?
I like a bit of a porch, somewhere i can sit in my bag,mostly protected and brew up my coffee. So it does need to be able to contain me and something like a trangia,

Be no use for brewing up in, definite fire risk there. You need a one man tent say with a side opening door or something. Bivi tents are too compact for what you want. Otherwise I find it plenty long enough.

Re:

Today I took the Galaxy along the Fife Coastal Path to measure it for Friday (D Day)
That was Elie to St Andrews, DO NOT EVER CONSIDER doing the above on a bike.
25 miles of shear torture covered in (drum roll) 4hrs 24mins & 30sec
I made upwards of 50 attempts to break my ankle but its still in one piece.

I could have told you that was a bad idea. Two coleagues of mine on full sus mtb's struggled with that stretch.

cool tk, that zephyros lite looks pretty identical to the TN comp laser, which looks like the tent in the foreground of gazz's pic. 6 weeks and counting until my next canvas adventure, canny wait

the wild country zephyros is made by terranova to the same design just with cheaper and slightly heavier materials
