Nothing planned...but hope to squeeze one or two more trips in this year...Not done so bad this year...Been away once a month since early April...Weather(despite forecasts)has not been too bad for each trip...Even managed a tan on my main hols four days of scorching weather...Which made up for the rest of the "Greyish" year..

Off in a week or so for a long weekend meeting up with friends which may well turn into a short tour of south east then east midlands, ending up in the north west if it stays good.

Late September am supposed to be going to Belgium and Holland (not confirmed yet)

October camps will depend on how I get on with the new tent (ordered but not arrived yet)

Still trying to get the packing right.

We do try a last weekend away in September, generally speaking the weather is quite pleasant when the kids go back to school!

We are off this weekend to Ripon for a couple of nights and then hopefully end of September beginning of October for another trip (not yet decided where). Plenty of layers and if the site has EHU then we take the heater.

We was away at the begining of October last year and it was very warm indeed. Looking at a forecast the first couple of weeks in September look quite settled.

We are going this weekend, with the Icarus just to have fun and make sure the tent is in good shape for next year, it will be the last time this year.

We have managed 21 nights this year a record for us and we have been fortunate with the weather largely for around 14 of those nights/days.

Away this weekend, then maybe next, but not sure after that. I hate the dark nights, seem to spend longer in tent, so dont usually camp after Sept. long light nights better when we take the grandchildren cos they love playing out till late.

We're off on saturday for three nights in the midlands and three nights nr Scarborough.

The next trip will be a 3-4 nighter for the scottish September weekend (3rd week). Not sure where to go but fancy it will be the east coast/Northumbria.

Two more short three nighters after that. One in October and one in late November. We have good equipment and more importantly faith lol

I will say though that we won't go if heavy winds are forecast.

We've got a week off mid sept - plan at moment is Cornwall, but if wet week is forecast will change it to East Sussex as SE generally drier than SW, but am now being tempted and looking at sites in France, as worried about the weather being miserable and I've had no smelly cheese this year.

Last year at same time we did Fort William area for a week, some wet weather but generally good. We needed the heater at night / in mornings though & we did no sitting outside the tent.

I'm admiring all those that plan to carry on through winter - what a hardy bunch

Most years I've kept the camping going until mid-October when I find it starts to get a bit dreary. Another factor is saving for Christmas - it means that I have to stop before end October.

Not got any weeks left I can take but we've still got our September weekend holiday to come so will be away for that.
Planning on other trips away but not booking things till nearer the time as I'm not a fan of camping in big wind.
