They may seem an unlikely thing to sleep on, but we certainly recommend them for mountain marathons. The weight can't be beaten, and they are surprisingly warm. Just don't fill the balloons too full!

I don't think they're light enough for mountain marathon use though. Sorry, we'll work on the balloon bed video next month at the Saunders (which is around Helvellyn, so we might drop in at Sterling Central for hints and advice). Colin: that's the base-camp tent. The overnight tent is half the size! :lol: We both got nice new waterproof jackets from Lowe Alpine for our efforts. I don’t think they’re light enough for mountain marathon use though.

But, <a href="http://www.sterling-adventures.co.uk/blog/2007/06/10/lowe-alpine-mountain-marathon/#comment-736" rel="nofollow">last year</a> we heard all about your circus skills! I was expecting a video recorded demonstration of balloon bed and animal construction? :-) Hey – well done guys – there must have been a great prize for being placed?
