OK we are back, we stayed at the CCC Certified Site called The Walks in Raglan, Monmouthshire, we were the only people there, the owner said he was expected two other caravans for the weekend but no-one showed up so we had the place to ourselves. We had our tent with a SIG, EHU for our fan heater, I have a Wychwood 5 season sleeping bag and my other half has a HiGear 4 season sleeping bag, we took several fleeces and plenty of layers to sleep in but surprise surprise we didnt need them, we had the fan heater on low all night and we insulated the airbed well with foil mats underneath and a fleece blanket followed by a fitted sheet on top and when I got up to use the porta loo at night it was toastie warm, I didnt even use half the clothes I took and slept in my undies and a t-shirt. All in all the only thing that reminded me that is was Feb was how cold the groundsheet was so we used spare picnic rugs to cover the whole lot so we could walk around bare foot. Great for the dogs, we could let them rome free as we were the only ones there and as there was only one shower there was never a queue. We are off to the NEC Outdoor show next weekend so cant camp then but we are already planning somewhere for the weekend after.

Im with Domino
Camping this weekend,,,,,,, No substitute for good sleeping bags, all depends on the age of your youngsters.
take thermal sleepwear, warm socks, gloves and hats as well as good sleeping bags and you will sleep as snug as a bug.
Kielder here we come
PS was -9 this morn and not expected to be much above will be in my Lichfield tent

But the gas heater comes in handy if it gets chilly while watching shooting stars and sipping the odd drink under the canopy.
