This was our first year camping as a family and although we absolutely loved it we did give up quite early on as the weather was pants and we jsut didn't want tor isk being stuck in a muddy field with a soaking tent and the kids and stuff. Obviously as we become more experienced I'm sure we'll learn to cope with all that!! We all hate the cold as well!
We are starting earlier next year, March is our first trip hopefully and then we'll take it from there!

Hi Everyone
If you are thinking of getting the canvasses out, we tried a good site in Lincolnshire for Xmas and New Year last Year (restaurant on site), had a great time and loads of people there. Its called the Woodlands, they do have a web site.
Happy Camping!!

For various family and work reasons, I have been unable to get away for the last three weeks. I have told my wife that I will be going for a long week end what ever the weather this friday. (solo camp)
Now I see they are forcasting bad winds and cold (north east) but I don't care, I'm going any way. I've two frame tents, (and them special pegs) so if it gets blown down I've still got the other one.

I wonder if I'll have the place it to myself? ((hope so))
(((Bet I get a text telling me I'm working friday or saturday night))).
------------- Canvas tent, paraffin light, petrol stove. Heaven
I'd rather be kayaking.
Spent up, not pent up, just had my new tent up.

DOH!
Just started getting my gear together for this weekend, to be told that my dog minder is going away over night so I can't go, and no work either.
I just give up.

Hi Keely,
Sadly, dog sitter is wife.
Sadly Sadly, my dogs not well, it's an old age thing, so he can't come with me, which is really a shame, because I feel much more secure with my German Shep. in the tent.
Back to your first suggestion, I wish she would recommend some one else for the week end!!! it was a solo camp 
Just about to go upstairs now, for a shower and then off to the pub instead.
So tomorrow instead of being tucked up in my tent, with my music (headphones) hot soup and all the other luxuries of camping, I'll be at my sister in laws, being a builder and decorator with a headache.
Oh well, there's always next year or the year after.

Finished for this year. Didnt get away as much as I would have liked though, due to health problems and a very stressful summer, due to neighbours from hell.
If alls well then come easter we'll be back under the stars.(or clouds)

We had 9 glorious getaways, weather generally not that bad.
We are packed away (for now), partner just passed theory teat today and with the practical in January I am plotting to start a whole lot earlier in 2009 (well we did it in 2008 without a car so I'm thinking with one it'll be a piece of cake).
Please don't let on yet, the poor sod has no idea why I'm paying for half the lessons!!!

"teat" should read "test" in case you were wondering...
