We are going away for DP's birthday in half term (last week of Oct) its not proper camping, its in a couple of interconnected yurts on a farm in Shropshire so there's proper beds, a proper floor, kitchen utensils, a gas BBQ & a wood burner. But there's still no proper toilets or electricity so to DP who prefers your more basic camping its OK. Its a compromise between his back to basics & my idea of camping really. But its still going to be bloody cold! We are going with DCs aged 10 & 6.
Aside from food/waterproofs/warm clothing/usual camping paraphenalia I've thought of these:
Long sleeved pyjamas, dressing gowns & slippers
Hot water bottles
Reusable & disposable hand warmers for the kids (disposable for when we are out & about on the farm trails, reusable for the yurts themselves)
Torches
Candles & tealights with safe stable containers (we also have solar powered lanterns)
Would you take anything else for a cold camping trip?
