We had a similar experience in September forecast was for glorious sunshine so rather than take the 4m bell tent I opted for the 4 person inflatable igloo which is our garden tent as only fits 3 SIMs and it drizzled all evening and night! We were lucky the following morning was nice.

I'm with dk168, posadas bed plus SIM - great nights sleep.
As for the cold, I know that OH is a bit like Mucker and wears bearly anything, I have the same under and over me but I wear thermals under fleece pj's and if it's very cold a little fleece housecoat - I either sleep as sound as a bell or wake up sweating - there's no pleasing is there?!! I must admit I can't be doing with wet - hate it if it's raining when we go for our last wees - mind you a wee dram of the Scottish nectar soon puts that right!!

Forgot to add - once you're cold you're cold when camping at night. It is very hard to get warm again - seems only when it's time to get up! Even if the days are warm, at this time year, the nights are always freezing brrr. If you go again, .....you know you will ... do get a warmer sleeping bag and don't forget your thermals!
