Actually NICE weather here today for a change (for February in the U.K.). Sunny and pleasant - hope it continues as tomorrow we're off in the caravan for a few days.

You have to PICK your dates carefully at this time of year - or just be prepared to take what comes. The only thing that puts us off is very strong and gusty winds on a travelling day, in which case we'd hope to leave sooner or stay longer to avoid them.

Rain certainly MADE camping in a tent pretty miserable: it was almost impossible to keep everything dry. (A tent is great in good weather though.)

-------------
2024 = 20 sites / 41 nights. 2023 = 9/23. 2022 = 13/35. 2021 = 11/29. 2020 = 4/20. 2019 = 13/35. 2018 = 20/33. 2017 = 10/22. 2016 = 19/33. 2015 = 15 sites / 27 nights. Didn't count 1976 to 2014.

Camping in a cotton canvas tent will MAKE a significant difference, whatever the weather.

As long as it's been re-proofed, or it could leak on the SEAM ⛺

I can't DENY that we are caravanners, formerly trailer tenters, and I've only ever slept in a tent 2 or 3 times in my life. I'd have been happy to embrace camping, but my OH is all about his home comforts!
