It's April to September for me - I've been in March but it was just so cold at night!

I don't think even having a canvas tent is going to persuade me that October half term is a nice time to sleep in a tent
We survived camping at Halloween! and now I'm itching to be camping again....it smells like tent weather

The football season starts late August so thats it for us (everyone in the family except me plays the beautiful game!!!)

Usually we have quite a long camp in August, 10-14 days, and often the weather is pretty unpredictable. By this stage in the season we will have been camping 5 or 6 times and I am getting ready to clean everything up, sort it all out and pack it away for another season.

If we go away in October half term its a Youth Hostel - wouldnt rule out a camping pod though.

Oh and then I can start thinking about new camping stuff to buy for the next year ...

Sadly proper camping (not tin tent) is happening less & less for us & partly that's because of worsening weather. It's more the wet & wind though and tbh often we find that's less of a problem in October than it is in September, especially the period around the equionox. If it's not wet & windy (and other stuff doesn't stop us), we'd camp till October. Nowaday not normally go again till April - we like camping in Scotland & March is usually a month of gales / storm force winds, or deep snow !

I have a real desire to camp in the snow, and as I have a pyramid tent I've been amazed at the gales it has withstood - last year a tree behind us blew down in the night!! the tent barely flapped

The latest trip we've done was in October 2009, a few more layers were needed but we had an excellent time - so long as the wind and rain hold off the temperature really doesn't bother me too much - I'm still trying to psych myself up for the winter camp though!
