I'm toying with cutting weight down by simply not taking the inner from my tent and just using some kind of waterproof fabric under my sleeping mat. This gives me a single skin tent weighing in at around 1.3kg which I'm probably only going to use in the UK in spring, summer or early autumn.
I know this is how people use more "technical" lightweight single skin shelters but my only experience of trying this left me covered in insect bites in the morning (at Upper Booth in Edale). So, I'm interested in how people have found this kind of arrangement in the UK.
