Not a lot that's definite Rob, no. I've just got back from eight days at Great Langdale so the next couple of weeks are ruled out by family commitments.

For mid-October I'm thinking of going to Yorkshire (either the Dales or North York Moors) if the weather is dry.

The next 'booked' trips are a couple of days in Borrowdale towards the end of October then Great Gable for the Act of Remembrance on 11 November.

Camping in the later months can be very enjoyable. Quiet campsites and wonderful Autumn walks to be had on a crisp morning. It's not the cold that is the problem. Take plenty of layers of clothes, pullover, fleece etc rather than a single heavy jacket. Put them on as required before you get cold. It is much easier to stay warm than to get warm. I think the main turn off is the rain. Wet camping in the colder months is not so enjoyable so try to pick a nice dry weekend and you'll love it.

As has been mentioned. A small fan heater can make all the difference if you want that extra bit of comfort though do please buy a reputable hookup lead. Not a cheepo firestarter from fleabay.

Something like this.

Absolutely right, 9iron - spot on.

Amen to that! I don't like rain at the best of times but cold rain is much the worst sort!

I had a lot of cold rain, last Easter, but it was at the end of March.  I wished I had the EHU.  

A good decent sleeping bag is needed.  Not the 2 season, as it would be difficult to stay warm, even with the duvet. 

If you do become cold, go for a walk,   soon  warm up.
