So I took my new Lawson Blueridge Hammock out for a spin yesterday afternoon.
Relatively easy to assemble and put up, however, the Mammut Tree Huggers that are 'recommended' with this product are a sad reflection of the £25 they cost. Reckon it takes a real genius to work out how theses heavy contraptions work, took me long enough.
And unless you are planning on tying your hammock to a lampost or something of similar thickness then I suggest you steer well clear - luckily I had brought my trusty TW tree huggers!
The hammock itself I'm still not 100% on. Perhaps it was the way I hung it or perhaps it needs a fiddle with, but I really didn't like the lying position at all - I felt almost doubled over (sadly, due to the fiddling with the tree huggers I didn't have long to try it out). That said, I have seen videos online where the lying position is almost flat so I will try again this week. Easy to pack away and store and light to carry. I must say that with the tarp on it's a lovely and cosy.
Below are some photos for you guys;
