Given this weekends forecast, has anyone got any tips for keeping warm - during the daytime as well as at night.   I'm  a bit worried that if the kids wear too many layers they will also get most of their stuff wet.. 

Thanks

hlk01 - a wee hot toddy     Well, on second thoughts, maybe not for the kids

Where are you off too?

Long shorts and wellies are better for kids than trousers in the wet...saves all the flappy dangly hems getting wet. Wool socks, thermal vest (M&S) long sleeved t-shirt, wool jumpers, fleeces with hoods and hats. That`s what my kids wear anyway, with waterproofs on top if raining.

I find wool jerseys far warmer than any synthetic sweater, though fleece is still best as a top layer. Wool can absorb a lot of moisture before it feels wet, and even then it still keeps you dry. Big oversized ones from the charity shop are great on campsites! (Yes, my kids look like total scruffs, but they`re warm.)

Hlk01, I take some thermals for the night time too, a must when camping North!

Defo Thermals for daytime too, walking socks really keep the heat in the feet Dept and a hat, keeps the heat in, woolly tammy or alike.

Where abouts in Pitlochery you off too, we are heading to Dunkeld... Who cares about the rain.... you only get wet !!

Have Fun !
