We are camping April 4th for 4 nights, really looking forward to it, desperate for a change of scene. 

Will be taking a heater, although will only have it on when absolutely necessary, I don't agree with having heaters on all night.

We camp all through winter in the Vango Quest.  We also have Mountain Equipment Cloudwalker II sleeping bags (bl**dy brilliant).  This combination together with picnic blanket under the beds and a blanket over the beds/under the sleeping bags has worked for us.  If the site has a microwave (which more and more seem to be getting) I take the wheatbags - just in case.  I am always scared of hot water bottles since one leaked when I was a child - just can't seem to let that go!!!!!

Take plenty of warm layers, socks and a hat and you will be fine.  Often by the time Easter comes, the weather is mild anyway - hopefully.

I'm going to try some of the spongy insulation stuff used under laminate floor under our aerobed - I rescued some from a skip last week

I think I've got some of the same in my shed.

Thanks for that tip
