Finally today I got the time to play with my Alpkit 3.5 tarp . I tried various ways of putting it up using bike only and the end result was good (sadly I can't show you as I've no computer) but I'm on instragram under mtb_69 if you would like to go look and comment ..
Looking forward to my 1st night under the stars soon ....

Re: Alpkit 3.5 trial
Used mine at the weekend and was very happy with it, although I made use of trees rather than bike/pole.
Re: Alpkit 3.5 trial
Coincidentally I have just been in the garden trying out my 3.5 for the first time as well.
I reckon mine was less successful as I need more lines for smaller the tarp.
I will be mostly making loops out of para cord this evening for the tie out points.

Yes that's the one thank you ....
It seemed very stable (I could put a line on the bike itself) . 4 lines and 7 pegs
