I must admit that water is definately a problem as I'm not sure where I could fill up, there are streams on route but not sure of the condition of the water ie still and stagnent or full of real nasties, all I have to filter with is a Millbank bag.
As far as Location is concerned I will be in SE Kent to start with and maybe look at other areas later if I can find a willing nutter "Sorry partner" to join me. The season I think will have to be summer as I'm no spring chicken, just a chicken and luxuries "er, um, er, hmm yes, ah????????? Just as long as I've got my tea and some real milk (not powdered) I'll be ok.
water easier to find than milk i would think. unless a early morning suprise for a certain cow is planned. given that there are many farms about that i sumise would be more than happy to resupply you ,for a cost no doubt. But fresh milk and water thats worth it. I suggest some purification tabs and powdered milk just in case. mill banks are good but using milbank tabs and boiling is better.

Isn't it nice when someone says "that's a great piece of kit, where did you buy that", then you can modestly reply "you can't buy it, I made it myself". The moral is, it's amazing what you can achieve if you put your mind to it.

I use a foam sleep mat £10 a Berghaus lightweight sleeping bag, bought in thr sale for £25 and a Rab bivi bag coming in at £60. Maybe not as cheap as your wanting but a great system and all you need in the height of summer. I often use a tarp too.
