We brave it too.  We went to Holmsley in the New Forest.  Friday night was okay, not too bad temperature wise, the days were lovely and sunny.  Saturday night was bitterly cold.  None of us slept that much.  We don't usually go this early in the year but had a new tent and wanted to try it out.  We had a fab time though.  Just need to get me a heater that I can leave on at night!

Fawn and Kjaugust:

Certainly was "taters" down in Kent Saturday night, below zero in fact and a hand which had escaped from my sleeping bag was freezing (reminds me of an opera) but my body was warm enough.

Sounds like your sleeping bags are about right Fawn.  What you put underneath them is probably more important than the bag itself,  I find an old fashioned blanket under a Thermorest and two woollen (not synthetic) travel rugs on top of the Thermorest and under the bag with a fleece liner in the bag is fine for this time of year.

Don't forget to pull your sleeping bag over your head or wear a hat.

Take care.
