Thanks for all the repies...don't think I've ever had so many!

We are regular campers, but don't normally go until the summer (may-aug). I think, by the sounds of it, an extra layer of clothes or blankets should do the trick at night!

We've camped for the last 2 Easters hols and been lucky with the weather on both occasions.... Going to The Orchard this Easter and really looking forward to it..It can get really cold in the night and we usually wear hats and thermal socks to bed.  Wear layers as its easier to take them off it you get too hot!  We normally have hot water bottles too and warm up the tent up with a gas heater before we go to sleep!  If its really cold have a cuddle, body heat always works!  Have fun x

We are off to the Orchard too! Going for 11 nights from the 21st...I can't wait!

My dog usually sits himself in front of the fan heater while inside the tent, clever boy!

He loves it when I point my hairdryer at him while getting ready to go out at home.

Can't wait until the Thu before Easter as I shall make a dash to the campsite straight after working an early shift!

Craig,  are the bluecat heater good on fuel consumption when on the low setting.  As I have been thinking of swapping over from the type of gas heater which takes the aerosol type cannisters?

We did our first meet of year at Longthorns farm in Dorset Last week end 25-28th March. The weather was perfect and quite unbelievable for the time of year ....see attached link 'live from longthorns' .....there's a couple of great pictures on each page if you scroll down. Yes it was bloody cold at night, but the firepits then thermals, a good sleeping bag and for some an EHU and heater kept us sleeping soundly.

That's the thing with this camping lark eh....you just never know what the weather will do so pack for all eventualities lol!
