Advanta seems to be a bit bigger compared to yours. I might order it and see if I can fit 2 beds in it. If not, I can always return.

Cheers guys, appreciate all the replies.

I'm leaning towards a 2-man now, even though I'd prefer a 1.5 if I can squeeze two beds in when my little one tags along. Trying not to spend daft money, so the Avid Revolve 2 is on my radar unless there's a better shout in that price bracket?

I was kinda hoping the Advanta 1.5 could take two beds with a bit of spare room for bits, but sounds like it might be tight. If anyone's actually run two beds in the Advanta 1.5, could you share how you laid them out and how much space was left?

Hi all,

I'm after a bit of advice on a bivvy that'll work for 90% solo sessions, but also take two standard bedchairs when I bring my little boy along.

I've been looking at the Advanta Pro Peak 1.5 man, but I'm not sure if it'll realistically take two beds without everything touching the skin or blocking the door. Has anyone actually run two beds in the 1.5? Pics would be ace if you've got them.

What I'm after:
- Preferably 1.5 or compact 2-man footprint (not a barge, but roomy enough for two beds).
- Front-to-back bed layout workable.

Thanks

Hello all,

Looking for new lakes around Peterborough / Spalding / Lincoln area. Don't mind to travel. Ideally something in rural area..trees around, lily pads, not overstocked. Getting bored of my local small water, needs new challenge.

Thank you.

Thank you. Most of the lakes around me have similar rules and trying to figure out what I need. Looks like I can't use safe zone leader anymore as it's semi fixed lead rather than running lead?

Thanks but in my understanding I can't use korda safe zone leader as it's not running lead?

Hello,

I'm still new to carp fishing and struggling to understand some of the fishery rules. Until now I was using korda safe zone leader but fishery recently changed rules to following :

Leaders and tubing are a must leaders must be lead free and tubing must be 12 inches long
No naked rigs
No fixed leads they must be running

Also other lake I found has in the rules : "No leadcore or leaders of any description."

Could you try to explain what it actually means please? Obviously don't want to break any rules on lake but confused how to fish.

Thanks
