Thanks for your comments but I still notice that most of you caravanners seem to come from warmer England apart from Lindjemp, Blairgowrie in February thats brave. Lindjemp, where in Pitlochry were you at Halloween, we love pitlochry, we go to Faskally a lot.

My next question is when you go camping during the winter what do you do to pass the time, you can't sit in the awning or outside soaking up the sun (what sun we say in Scotland), you can't spend all your time in the caravan, there isn't much to do indoors in Scotland, so what do you do (no rude comments please). You can go walking, cycling, what else?

Went to a chalet over Christmas last year (Pitlochry) and was bored stupid, did the walking, eating and drinking (the last part was fun)- Yes I'm a Jock.

We do all sorts of things, We generally go our during the day, walking, have a look fround some towns/places of interest we even take the dogs down to the beach and they run around,
If the weather is rough we generally find something depending where we are, Of an evening I cook dinner then we either curl up infront of the telly all under a duvet or we play games/cards etc,
Last new year we went away with friends so there was 4 children between us ageing from 12 months to 15 years. not one of them got bored the whole week. We had a few film nights and did something everyday. It was really enjoyable and the kids loved it.

Its Faskally we are going to as its the only one open up there at Halloween - last year we had the campervan which didnt have a loo and the toilet block there isnt heated - we had to put loo paper on the seat or your bum stuck to it! Ouch!! The van only really slept 3 so my eldest (26)bravely stayed in a tent outside - woke up to ice sliding down the door.

At Blairgowrie we stayed at the 5 Roads site which has an immaculate beautifully heated shower block. Went up to see a beautiful waterfall in the snow.

One of the reasons we gave up the van was that when we go away in the winter we like to see loads of scenery and a car and caravan are an easier option then packing up every time you want to go to the shops. You can see so many more things in winter when theres no leaves on the trees. We just like to relax, play loads of daft board games, read and just spend time together - somehow fights over doing the washing up seem much better when you are on holiday.
