Same here. Bloody gulls. With my Norse heritage I can get a sun tan in the rain in April. Certainly can't sit in the sun for more than a few minutes.

That was the hideout Scozza. I had one for a couple of years.

It was OK. But one connection on mine would have me sweating to disconnect it. They were metal blocks so I drilled the hole wider. Stopped the problem.

Sold.mine as I already had the evo x and the hideout didn't seem yo offer much more. I still fish open fronted when possible.

Loving the Tempest Brolly and it has the Evo capabilty of being
Fished higher or lower.

If no rain is forecast I'll always chose to go under the stars. I've been caught out a few times with an early morning shower but all part of the fun.

There's nothing like laying there on a clear night looking up at a sky of stars, one of the great pleasures of our hobby.

My favorite type of photography is deep space astro with my star adventurer and a guide cam. Lightweight rig, perfect with tackle in tow. This is the Heart Nebula.

Wow, you can take an image like that on the bank? Do you mind showing us a photo of the amount/size of equipment it requires?

The wildlife you see can be awesome around dawn if you have been still in the chair overnight

I have this setup as well as one much much bigger at home. But for a mobile rig this takes some beating. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WuBKfo_KMo

As much as possible. I've slept under the stars in Winter as well - both on the floor and on a bed chair. Providing you've got appropriate sleeping gear with you, it's perfectly fine.

Around 30 odd years ago I had a Nash bedchair cover that attached to the bottom and pulled out an over the bedchair, it was all I used during the summer, great times.

Cracking space photo.
