..... And underfloor heating, Heath.... don't forget the underfloor heating!!
Welcome Stan.
No definite plans here, as such, but we'll be very disappointed if we dont get away at least twice between now and Crimbo! And January is a must, as we failed to camp last January.
The main problem with winter camping is the wind. Went to Beechcroft last Feb, (Don't think I've mentioned this before, so thanks for reminding me!) and dropped my talc on the way back across the site from the aforementioned underfloor heated shower block...... It blew everywhere......

Seriously, keep warm, keep dry. Decent sleeping gear is a must, whichever way you do it. Even a fan heater, if needs must.... Oh, and Baileys..... the cheap versions from Lidl/Aldi is fine. The empties always end up in the site bin/recycling, not your own at home, so the neighbours will never know!
Rain, rain, go away...... anything else is all we pray!!!
------------- 2018: 1 night so far...

Ooooodaaa muckers, underfloor heating, I did'nt know that.
What luxury, It's worth going just for that.
Take heed, what muckers said. Decent winter clothing, thermals, keep, . , hands, head, feet warm.
Don't scrimp on bedding, don't want to wake up freezing.
Hot water bottle, a must.
