Stay in the warm this time, stewey. You have warm kit and would no doubt be comfortable enough, but that bitterly cold, damp air will be going into your lungs, and you don't want that.
If you're anything like my OH you'll know when you feel better - you'll reach for a pint!
Hope you're fine soon and you can get back under canvas.
hi stewey,
good thoughts mate, in going camping you may pickup another 'bug' on top of that one.. wait till you've had a pint or two ... it will still be cold then

You could always just turn the heating off and try out your new bag.
I agree,put ur tent up inside and feel the vibes,I'm single camping but I think I will let the snow go first.Failing that u could go to Decathlon,Winwick Rd and sit in one of their demmo tents lol,julie

I know what you mean mate. I have had three chest infections in the last three months each requiring time off work. The doctor now things I have winter asthma too. I feel mostly OK indoors but as soon as I am out in the cold I start wheezing and coughing.
