Finally got round to ordering some material and putting myself together a bridge hammock.
Its heavily based on GrizzlyAdams and TeeDees informative threads. The spreaders are around 36" at the head and 26" at the feet
and a 7" depth in the curve. Im around 6'4" and I added around 7" for extra space and it seemed to work out fine.
Here are a few pics of it on a hang at the weekend:

Apart from the next step of the bugnet, I working out options for a UQ. I want to use my exped, and as you see in the pictures
above i used an old underquilt and jammed in the exped. This worked quite well as a temp solution but i considering making
a sleeve for the exped and attaching bungies cords to the corners of the sleeve then fixing those
to the hammocks webbing loops.
Have any of you guys done any thing similar? There would have to be very little air in the mat and i also think i would have to have some
kind of baffle/draw string to be able to adjust the contact to the hammock and stop wind blowing through.
