Hi everyone - so this weekend we are planning to camp in the Peak District. 

We have an Outwell Montana 6 or a Quechua base seconds 4.1 - we're only going one night so were just going to use the Quechua as the Montana takes us 45mins to put up.  I'm not so sure about this now tho as we have a carpet for the Montana and with us and so it might feel warmer?

The cold I am particularly worried about - I know the forecast for this weekend isn't too bad but i'm someone who feels the cold easily! 

So, i'm thiking we need to take our EHU first of all and we also have a little fan heater, an electric blanket and then various choices of what to sleep on -but again, this could be limited if we use the Quechua!

Has anyone any advice to give please?

thanks in advance!

Where abouts are you camping? We camped at Hardhurst Farm near Bradwell this time last year (we're going again next weekend if weather isn't too bad) and it was cold at night and we had the carpet, heater, sleeping bags, slept in layers etc (Mrs Pjaz also feels the cold) so I would take whatever you will feel warmer and happier in - 45m for the M6 doesn't sound too onerous in return for a good nights sleep.

Happy camping.
