    Yeah I'm fine now.
    I play a bit of over 35s football to try and keep fit. Was playing in nets and got the ball at full pelt in the face, went straight over backwards and cracked my skull on the hard earth. Have never felt like my brain was spinning in my skull before, wasn't nice. Felt sick and dizzy all evening, and still have a mild headache now and I am having a bit of trouble concentrating ( maybe I always have and only noticing it now )

    Cheers for all your concern.

    Gotta love the hammock. Got one myself, not a problem to get in and out off with a sleeping bag on. One of the best nights sleep I've had. Lightweight and just ties to my bag in the little holder I got for it so doesn't take any extra room up.

    Heather, fern and bracken all make great beds, only time I tried moss was in a wet ditch on EnE with only the noddy suit and kevlar, so can't remember the comfort rating of that lol
