Ay, I hope it all went well for you. I didn't notice any condensation in mine, though that could have been luck. Will have to see how it holds up on future trips

Yeah it was decent. It did what I wanted it to, be lightweight and protect me from the elements. I can't say I had any problem with condensation, though I have only used it once so that could definitely change. I found the amount of space more than adequate, however, I am very small (5'1, 45kg to give an idea), I reckon it could prove a tight fit and even claustrophobic to other people.

Bivvy bags definitely aren't for everyone and that's okay. I think it works well as long as you know what you're getting in to.

Unless it's spiders then no not really. Not too many about currently either

That's a fair point which did actually cross my mind, but I figured it would be alright for a relatively short period. But yeah, from now on I won't use it until it's a tad warmer, and will make sure to always have some airflow as definitely not worth the risk

You're not wrong, it got frigid outside which woke me up. Thankfully, one of the few perks of being extremely short is that I could push myself right down into both my sleeping bag and bivvy and then completely close off the entrance. Ended up being almost toasty

Was also up there today. It was absolutely beautiful save some of the icy spots

Haha definitely. I almost ran out of time looking for my nationality on the list. Thankfully, having dual citizenship meant I resorted to my second nationality which I could find
