Went into Town this afternoon to the North Face store in Covent Garden......
Got myself a Polar Flare sleeping bag . I got talking to a bloke in the store who's been on various mountain expeditions and has used this bag down to -35 degree's!! with no problems at all. He said he had to use thermals, but was toastie and warm, so should be plenty good enough in France!!
The bag compresses down nice and small, and as you can see in the pics, when in its sack is only as tall as a soft drinks bottle.
Nearly there with all my kit, roll on the 1st!!
