My friend and I took our dc camping on Sunday.
Weather was lovely on sunday. We set up camp and it all looked idyllic. I spent an hour trying to pitch the awning and have now found the best way to attach it to my bell tent, yay!
Rather sensibly (for me), I put my pyjamas on under my clothes at around 6pm so was lovely and warm when I went to bed.
Ds and I had lots of layers of clothes on, sleeping bags, blankets under and over us and we were so cold I almost gave up and came home. At one point in the night, ds undid the zip of my sleeping bag, at the feet end, and got in
. I was quite impressed that he could fit as it's a bit snug with just me in it! It turns out he was sleep walking and, really, he needed a wee. I was very grateful to him for going by himself and not making me go out into the cold aswell!
I am really quite hard and generally don't feel the cold but, oh my goodness, it was bitter!
Another friend was supposed to come and camp Monday and tuesday night but she cancelled as the temp in her car on Sunday night showed -3 degrees.
We upgraded to wooden pods last night because there was no way any of us could have managed another night under canvas.
Really pleased we moved to the pods because we were able to pack away our tents while they were lovely and dry...just before it started to rain and continued to rain for most of the night. Also, the pods had heaters

We've happily come home a day early and plan to relax for the rest of the day with the heating on!
