We have managed to secure sponsorship from camping experts Vango(http://www.vango.co.uk/), who as our main sponsors have kindly agreed to provide us with camping equipment. Vango, suppliers of tents, sleeping bags, rucsacks and camping accessories make some of the best value gear on the market. Years of commitment to outdoor pursuits enthusiasts has helped the company maintain its success for over 40 years. The flawless design and construction of Vango's products make them a company you can rely on. Their gear offers great value for money which is backed by a lifetime warranty.

Ben and I will be using a Vango shadow 200+ tent with Vango ultralite 400 sleeping bags and 3/4 length ultralite self-inflating mats.
