Again, Thanks. I like the idea of a readybed like method, but without any inflation. I was looking towards a CC mat for simplicity anyway. Just need to get one!
Thanks for the pointers - I'll measure him up. The awkward thing with judging his height as a 9yo go is that he is one of the tallest in his year at school, but also the oldest boy.
The women's pack suggestion is one made the other week when we were in Ambleside, but I didn't want to waste too much of the time in the lakes wandering round shops.
My eldest is off for a weekend with the cubs, and I am looking for a decent rucksack for him, that will also be useful for heading off with me.
All he needs to carry is personal stuff, but his sleeping bag is rather bulky, and I doubt he would manage anything technical with a compression sack by himself.
Any Suggestions? I have seen the Deuter Fox and the Vaude Hidalgo.
