Sleeping Bags... what rate Season for August?

[Wolfgirl]

I'm sure SB's have been done to death, but can't seem to find a thread about them

Could anyone recommend one for me, and suggest what season rating one would require for UK August camping?

thanks ladies

We've just got back from camping in the Lakes. I have a 2-3 season bag which was fine. Probably a 2 season one would have been fine too and I could have worn more clothes (slept in leggings and a long sleeve t-shirt, no socks). I also bought a fleece sleeping bag liner from Tesco in case it was cold and various fleece blankets from ikea at £1 a go in case it was cold but didn't need either.

My sleeping bag is a square one too as I don't like the restriction of the mummy ones. They are, apparently, warmer.

So basically I've waffled and may or may not have helped! I think what I am trying to say is if you have a lighterweight sleeping bag there are lots of options if it ends up being a bit colder than you thought

I have a 3 season bag, probably more than you need for August camping, but there's nothing worse than being chilly at night, and it's versatile enough that I can use it in spring/autumn as well. Never done proper winter camping! It's a fairly cheap/basic, mummy-shaped one from Blacks, keeps me warm enough anyway. I like the mummy shape as you can draw in the 'hood' around your head to keep a bit warmer if necessary.

we got two of these www.gooutdoors.co.uk/outwell-camper-brown-stripe-p147579
they were half price when we got then a few weeks ago, we bought left and right zips so they can zip together. i really feeel the cold as i cant regulate my body temp very well and this was perfect for me, i fact its the best nights sleep i have had for months. they dont crinkle and are soft inside and square at the bottom and they unzip to make a blanket
