Get your sleeping right! For my desert race I took a combination of sleep gear to see what worked best depending on the Sahara temperature at night. In the end I left behind my gortex bivvy bag and a silk liner and kept my wicked Mammut 2-Seasons bag (400g) and ultralight Thermarest (300g). I used a £350 Yeti jacket (150g) as a pillow - it was too hot to wear it in the evenings. Mammut bought out Ajungilak - a great Norwegian brand - and so with a 4 degrees comfort rating it was perfect! 💤🥱🛏

HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who has sponsored me a fiver for running the Toughest Footrace on Earth in aid of my friend's children and dog rescue centre in Tanzania. The alternative for these kids and dogs does not bear thinking about 👊❤️☀️
