    What extras do I need?

    Thanks Banjoman, saves me having to repeat your mistakes. My other thought was a PLUQ or similar DIY.

    What extras do I need?

    Ah, pegs, of course! Thanks jerzybears.

    Thinking of trying an opened up an old sleeping bag to use as an underquilt and seeing how that goes rather than buying a pad.
