I paid dear for a Vango backpackers tent year before last, it's very very goo and packs to bag about 350mm long and 150mm diameter. It's a Vango Tornado 200 ->

expensive, but very very good in all conditions, no weight to it either.

A few of the lads use the big cheapo ones so going to have a look at what size they pack down to. I think part of the problem is, even on a 2m mat my feet end up hanging off the end and get cold even with socks on, so a simple pillow could solve this..

I, and many others use an air bed! I have a small inflator that connects to the Optimate socket on the bike. Inflates in a minute or two. this way you are a good 3" or 4" above the ground and you can use it on prety rough surfaces too. It takes less space than any of the roll mats you buy. �15 from Argos!

NickW had a small multifuel cooker with him in the lakes, it was a low cost unit very similar to my MSR.

Have a look at the Crag-Hopper stuff, if you go for the SoalrDry range it packs to nothing, takes 10 minutes to 'self iron' and dry's in double quick time. I have a pair of zip-offs from the 'Bear Gryls' range and they come impregnated with anti-mozzy stuff. In fact any onf the good mountain wear pants will do the job.
