Hi all,
We go on our first camping trip with our shiny new tent his weekend, alll very exciting!!

In November, my partner turns 40..and i want to do something special for him, but funds are tight...sooo.. he loves camping, is a real outdoorsy man, and i wondered if surprising him with a short trip away ( no kids on this one!) would be nice.
But, do mant sites stay open during the colder months, is there anywhere ( south) that you'd describe as an extra special campsite, and do you think a tent, a bbq, lots of wine is a nice birthday treat?!
We live in Surrey, so can't be too far from there in case we needed to get back for the samll one, who will hopefully stay at nannys.
Thoughts on a postcard please!!
:o)

That's a really lovely idea - would Suffolk be too far for you ? I know it's not exactly local but the Orchard allow campfires which would probably come in handy in November!!

Orchard Campsite

We were there last summer and it's a great site, really laid back.

Just go prepared and it's plenty warm enough.
Hot water bottles, warm drinks at night, thick warm walking socks, thermals for pj's, fan heater and you'll be fine - an extra blanket or quilt for the bed if you normally feel the cold.
We go for th October half term week and manage fine.

Always listen to your mother...she is usually right. My mother told me I would get hemorrhoids if I sat on wet grass when I was a kid...well there's still time

Actually, there is often a spate of frost in the first week or so of November and then it gets warmer again but with climate change you may get away with it

I think its a great idea. Definately have EHU and leave a heater on in the tent on low over night.

Take lots of warm clothing, drinks and enjoy.

Cuddling helps you keep warm too!

Have a fab time x
