Cabanons are french I think...sure someone will correct me....although I think there`s only you and me here LOL

OH can understand why I covert a Cabanon, but I don`t think he`ll understand if I say, okay I`ll have one of those instead, having spent weeks persuading him the cabanon is the only way to go.

But I do like the Lakes............maybe I`ve been brainwashed by Rex

I've camped in the snow in Glencoe at New Year - have to say though that I was MUCH younger and it was a tiny 2-man tent - which I think stays a lot warmer than the modern mini-house tents (whatever they are made of, there's just too much air circulating to keep the heat).

we're off to derbyshire this weekend.
we have wild camped in december and february.

as said, it is overnight that you need to make sure you are well wrapped up, once the heaters go off the tent cools down very quickly

We're sleeping in the tent tonight ( testing her out of course)  and it's freezing out there - forecast here is for a ground frost - I'm donning my thermals in a little while (neighbours must think I'm crazy)

 

Go for it - it's too early in the season to pack up yet!

We have just survived 3 nights camping in North Wales in Outwell family tents. We are 3 Mums with 5 young children between us. We went well prepared for bad weather which we got- sub zero temps, gales, snow, ice, mud, torrential rain, thunder and the odd bit of sun, and we all loved every minute of it. Wouldnt hesitate to do it again. We stayed warm and dry and well fed. Kids crying when we came home at the end of our hol. Going again at weekend.

Would recommend it as long as you are well prepared.

                         HAPPY CAMPING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have just come back from 2 nights camping in Norfolk. One very wet night one very dry and cold night, but great fun.
No condensation even though we used the cooker in the tent, but then the old Khyam galaxy is marvelously draughty. We usually get condensation in the summer though.
We were prepared for the cold and had our duvet as well as sleeping bags. Also put a picnic blanket under the mattress for extra insulation.
Lots less mud than we had in the summer!
I would camp at any time, especially if you have a better tent than ours and EHU

As long as you have a warm tent and warm sleeping bags I think you should be ok, no? After all people have been to the pole in tents!
