I'm thinking of a few days cycling + camping in the Highlands in the next few weeks, and normally take just a bivvy bag rather than a tent for sleeping.
But in Scotland I'm thinking midges: is a bivvy+tarp combination reasonable in the Scottish Highlands in August, or would a tent offer a lot more protection? My bivvy bag has a mesh inside cover at the head end but space is pretty limited once I'm zipped in there and would preclude eg. food preparation, or much else.
