can anyone recomend a compact, lightweight, warm and resonably cheap sleeping bag. compact being the main word.
thanks

You probabaly want to go for a Snugpac softie, either a 9 or 12. If these are too costly try some of thier other ranges. I've used a "9" down to -5C before with no significant problems.

I was looking in the north west supplies catalogue at the softie 3 and 6 (the only ones they sell), but the do seem a little pricey, but possibly too much (£57.99 and £79.99 respectivly) The picture of the softie 3 packed looks very small but in your experience are they?
Thanks

Softie 3 packs up intp a stuff sac you can fit into the palm of your hand. Its a great little summer on its own bag, good late spring early autumn bag with a few more clothes on in it, and a good liner for a winter bag.

Personally i'm a fan on the coleman range, i have a couple for different temperature zones and of course they vary in size!!

Check out some excellent bags at www.campshop.co.uk
Its an actual shop located at Sennybridge Army camp in the Brecons, but they do reliable mail order. Bob McCreadie will bend over backwards to sort you out and his advice is impartial and fair.
