Hi I'm based in the UK too and planning a Spain France trip (haute route pyrenees). Best of luck if I don't see you out there
I totally agree with Moel in that with hammocking is taking off very quickly ATM, it is changing very fast. I would suggest beg, borrow and steal as much as possible, with a good dose of DIY to boot. Get out there and see what suits, works and is light enough. The kit I had in France and Switzerland last year has been totally replaced with better kit, and all pretty cheap too, jut understanding what works. I find the commercial systems usually hide me from nature, like a tent, which is a deal breaker for me.
If you are struggling I have bits of kit knocking about. Drop me a PM of what you need and I'll see what I can do
