Clean your pegs as you take them out of the ground
There is no such thing as bad weather - just the wrong clothing

I'm going to throw my vote in for the 'insulate under your air bed' advice
We have two big knotted rugs that form a carpet in the bedroom and keep us snug
Lovely to walk on, too
That and make sure you've got a light that you can easily get to in the night
Oh yeah, and put warmer/bed time clothing on before you get cold

Love our set-up and need no more tents or gear, so trying to stop looking!

I've noticed that I posted this on two forums (sorry).
Thanks for all the replies. Some gems, and some chuckles. Insulate the airbeds is one I'll take away.
First 'outing' on Friday. Grateful for the "don't eat yellow snow" tip..... Might come in handy.....
If you're pitched on a slope, make sure your feet are pointing downhill when you're sleeping.

That's a bit like one my Dad taught me:- "What's under the bed stops you from being cold and what's on the bed keeps you warm."
A friend taught me:- Take a can of rice pudding with you, it can be eaten any time of the day and you can eat it cold if your cooker has died.....

Love a lot. Trust a few. But ALWAYS paddle your own canoe!!

Bit of a strange one 'the more you take the less you go'...
So if i took less would probably have to give up work to fit the trips in
I take the kitchen sink and haven't been home for one weekend in the last month
