Ex mod tarp. And bivi bag a decent light weight sleeping bag as a cheap start point. Then decide on back pack frame bag pannier set up that your comfortable with.

First decision: you need to make is Bivvi bag, hooped Bivvi or Tent. Personally I can't handle a open Bivvi bag so I have gone for a light weight tent (weighs less than a Bivvi anyway) but I also have a [url= http://www.outdoorgb.com/p/the_snugpak_stratosphere_hooped_bivvi/?utm_source=froogle&utm_medium=directory&utm_content=GBR&currency=GBP&country=GBR&SelectedBundle=153403&gclid=CJep6__B27YCFfQetAodonYAxw ]Snugpac hooped Bivvi [/url]

Second decision : how to carry the kit. Frame bags are (for me) the only way to go. AlpKit and Wildkat gear do good ones.

Cool, cheers! I was thinking of using a back pack, maybe 35 ltr? Keeping it minimalist and light. Ideally using bothies.

If you are using bothies then a lightweight sleeping bag, mat and your cooking stuff is about all you need. Carrying stuff in a backpack tends to be less than ideal (for most folk) but if you have something that size it's a good idea to try it before splashing out on more gear.

Any good budget light weight sleeping bag/mats? Cheers.
