Hi Marjory,
This is a little late but, for some reason, the mail system kept rejecting this simple message - something ithasn't done in my many years on this list.
To answer your question of a few days ago Yes, I slept in the trench with groundsheet over the top. Lots of condensation in the cool desert nights.

Hi Jeffry,
I am having a bit of difficulty grasping the logistics of the desert sleeping arrangements you wrote about. You dug a sleeping hole / trench.. and you slept in the trench with your ground cover above you capturing water? er what?? sorrry for being so dense, but I am curious.
Sincerely,
Marjory

I spent a little time camping out in the Namibian desert. It was accepted practice to dig a sleeping hole and cover it with your groundsheet, weighted around the edge of the hole with rocks. I awoke each morning dry and - of interest to this discussion - my (canvas) groundsheet was sagging with a good few litres of water.
