Yup, but for a few more quid you can get something much better.
The £2 ones you picked up, are they rustly like a crisp packet? McCavity & his friend used some that look identical to that on the trip, VERY noisy! Every wisp of wind and that was all you could hear. DD make little to no noise at all, many attachment points. Like I say, they're the most recommended for a reason - they're the best.
Aye sorry there Beardy !

No problem buddy - I was out for the count when I hit the sack. Listening to Liam get comfy though, it sounded like someone ripping their way through hundreds of crisp packets!

This is why I set my camp up first
Nice soft ground for me - nothing under me (apart from that packet of biscuits I slept on)
