<p>Hi Kathryn</p>
<p>Many thanks for the offer of the tent, you're a star. However according to those who know best, bivving is our only option and that a tent can't be pitched at the summit of Great Gable.</p>

<p>Many thanks</p>

Hi Pete, don't know if it's too late now, but I have one, old goretex bivvy bag that should still be ok for one night. Gary

I've got a north face tadpole tent that you could borrow? I believe it can be pitched fly only onto the footprint if you just want a geodesic shelter? X

<p>Hi Pete</p>
<p>During the summer - and given a decent forecast you will get away with an ordinary orange exposure bag over the top of a sleeping bag, with a Karrimat in the exposure bag for good measure. Take some ear plugs cos in my experience its the incessant rustling of the plastic bag that will keep you awake. Wear a hat and best of luck ! Mike (PS I can robably rustle up a couple of plastic bags ho ho!)</p>
