Camping In Norfolk - Christmas Night - New Bivy Bag - Sausage the ferretts first adventure

Dmitry a friend I met through work invited me on a mini adventure over Christmas, he had found a great campsite that was almost as good as wildcamping, with the promise that we would be the only ones on site.

This would be the perfect time to test a new piece of equipment I got for Christmas the Aqua Quest hooped Bivvy!

I arrived late at night to find Dmitry, Max & Michael already set up, it was very dark hammering down with rain so I got on with setting up the tarp and my new bivvy.   I was grateful that they had a good fire going and they put some food on for me on my arrival after a late night drive!

My tarp & Bivvy setup
 As you can see in the picture above, I had a dry night however the rain was so awful that the condensation inside the bivvy was awful, I should have taken a vbl (vapour barrier liner).
Did I mention Sausage the ferret joined us
This was a great adventure for Sausage, the guys were great with him and very patient we walked all the way through the woods to the sand dunes and beach and back with him, the locals were very curious.  Sausage loved every minute of it and showed no fear of the sea!
We took a long walk through some woods with  Sausage and
then down to the beach, this is Sausage swimming int the sea!
