Come west. Spring starts early, autumn ends late, winter is half-hearted. Last November I photographed red admirals and Catherine wheels on the same day.

we have been away in October half term for last couple of years, both in our Folding Camper and previously in the tent.

apart from what has been already said regarding extra blankets/heaters etc. it would be worth pointing out that at that time of year it gets dark at around 4pm!

so you will need a few decent lamps or you will be cooking your dinner in the dark!

Hiya,

We have been away on holidays last week Sept and first week Oct for the last couple of years and the weather has been really mild. Even was sunny where we went for long walks without coats. Hope you get the same and have a fab time.

Our experience last October was not like many on here. We went to the Quiet site in Watermillock near Ullswater, and it was cold and windy and rainy and dark by 5.30. But we had a geat time and wll go again this year!!!

We've booked Cornwall in October Half Term. It may be cold, it will be dark so EHU at that time of year is a definite for us. The campsite rents EHU units for a minimum fee.

Though the Dome / POD tents get a fair bashing on many postings, their design, coupled with the full inner makes them ideal for camping at this time of year.
