I have not done it yet, however, I shall test my winter set up at a local campsite about 15min from home in mid Oct 08, in readiness for the South West meet over the New Year weekend down in South Devon.

I aim to bunk off early from work (one of the virtues of flexi hour working), so that I can be at the local campsite when there is still light.

I do not antipate setting up in the dark being an issue, as I shall have lanterns and torches, as well as the car headlights if required.

As for the South West meet in Dec 09, I aim to arrive at the campsite soon after 12:00h in the afternoon.

Winter camping sounds great, especially round a campfire!  First went in May this year, that was cold at night but not unbearable.  Not so sure how I would cope in colder months though.

Could be a chance of going to a campfire friendly site in October, do we need any extra kit?  Or is an extra duvet enough?

The farm is called greenacres and its in north wales.  www.greenacresfarmpark.co.uk   

I have only been once for the day(not camped yet) its lovely for young kids my daughter is 3 years old. Its £23 per night for up to 4 people  to camp in which entrance is included to farm which is normally £5 adults £4 children i think. Also doing something for halloween to, just saw leaflet in park when i went in june advertising december. The info said they have santa, grotto, real raindeers and nativity scene.
