How late into the autumn do you go camping? We have just returned from North Devon and the OH wants to put everything away until next year! The thought of no more camping this year is depressing

We had a bit of an 'Indian summer' up here last year and we went camping the second weekend in October. The nights were a bit chilly, which we overcame with a couple of small heaters, but the days were fantastic.

Thanks Tigermouse. I am feeling rebellious this morning. We have the tent up in the garden drying out at the moment, maybe I will get in it and refuse to come out until OH caves in.

Tell him

camping is about weather we will or weather we don't

and as Tigermouse said last autumn was better than the summer.   But It will get chilly in the evenings, so a camping heater and a hot water bottle is a must for me.

We camp well into october, as long as your properly equipped with decent sleeping bags, insulation and a source of heat you should be fine

Bear in mind it goes dark early though, a nearby pub or a portable telly can be useful

Going up to the Lakes in third week of September.  Expect to have glorious days and chilly (coats on outside) evenings.  Can't wait, nineteen days and counting.
