I had a great time trying out a local hill camp using my tarp. I absolutely loved sleeping under the stars and moon and the lovely fresh air, and learned the importance of a nice flat pitch and not jabbing stuff with sharp sticks, haha. GEAR LIST

The woods were looking beautiful and autumnal as I made up camp and tried out my Thermarest Neoair Xtherm Max! Temps dropped to 6°C and I stayed toasty warm! Have a look at the video for full thoughts, autumn scenery and general wild-campiness. TRIP GEAR LIST
