exactly mate, that's where I'm heading but it's just friggin freezing over here lol, I have some ultra lightweight bits of kit but my one man tent is a fair whack heavier than a hammock, I'll take the weight over bag storage and dryness.
Do you string a tarp over the hammock??
The 26 miler the other day was great, our time was proper shite and my navigating was shocking. we did still beat some runners though haha
