where abouts down south... sigh... hahahah

i just emailed hennessy, telling them that i love their product and wouldnt swop it for anything else, but their uk website is £$%&

i can buy a supershelter from finland and it would cost me less, including shipping than if i bought it from the us website...

why wouldnt british users want hex tarps?

the british website is really quite poor.....

http://www.hennessy-hammocks.co.uk/buy.shtml

they offer two hammocks... thats it.....

why are we so neglected!

hung out in surrey for three days. max wind was 30mph and min temp was 11.5C. Rain was in bursts but heavy. I was using standard HH explorer Dlx with standard tarp. no problems at all.

roll mat was more than sufficient, wasnt cold at all and slept for nearly 11 hours every day!!! how lazy is that!!!

Deep in the heart of Sherwood forest for me.

All though I'm technically not a swinger yet, as I've only just ordered my hammock.

Should be here beginning of next week and I'm itching to give it a swing.

I would also like to say great vids trek

I'll certainly be taking the tips on board thanks

you are welcome! nice to see that its helped so many people out!!! going to be doing another one shortly on where to store your gear... certainly seems to be a problem for a lot of people.

what make and model of hammock did you order?

It was a long thought out and tough choice,

but in the end I opted for the HH explorer deluxe.

So I'll be keeping a close eye on your UQ/SS dilemma.

all the best
