The live bit kind of failed with photobucket app going ape s**t.
Uploading all the pics now. Was a brilliant weekend to camping. So warm and got burnt quite badly. Wetsuit was soooo heavy after the swim, really impacted weight i carried back down.
Solar lights worked well as did tarp. Got a little cold around 3am, but stuck a vest on and i was fine. Soon as sun started to rise it heated up fast!
Lessons for next time? Selling campingaz stoves. In comparison to the coleman one i saw and this:
The campingaz didn't perform well. They don't seem as powerful as the above two so time to change. Going to look at a therm-a-rest bed as well. Whilst i love the one i use at moment, weighs a bit. Looking to become more lightweight.
Anyhow, standby for more pics!

Look forward to your photos..I can recommend the Coleman F1 gas stove, boils quite quick and so samll when folded down and in its own bag. Cannisters are larger than campingaz but last longer..

Fantastic pictures! Your solar lights look quite bright. Don't know if I would be brave enough to get in that water though. It looks inviting but I bet it was freezing! That's a nice little 'community' of tents. Looks like everybody had a great time

Well on the first evening and midnight skinny dip i didn't use wetsuit, regretted it at once (well not on skinny dip ;)). Water was fairly nippy but at same time refreshing. The hot sun soon dried us out :D.
