Will anyone else be out and about this weekend?

I am considering taking my 5&6 yr olds to the Lakes this weekend but not sure if the overnight temps are still too low.

I will only be taking our small tent, so no EHU or anything. 

I know the day temps aren't too bad at the moment but would it be madness to go?

They just love the whole camping thing, so the sooner we can get out the better!

What d'ya reckon?

Cheers

we are away from Monday for the week

i'm off to ullswater at the weekend, taking the small tent and me and the OH are having a romantic weekend under the stars ahhhh!!

i'm just taking extra fleece blankets to put under airbed n stuff and fleecy pjs!!!!

go for it................. hope you have a fab time

check the met office website, they could give you long forecasts.

I think you would be ok, its warming up. but be prepared, take plenty of blankets, wear plenty of layers at night too.  We have been camping in August before and my teeth have been chattering at night !!

As long as you've got good sleeping bags - go for it!

We're away next week at Rosedale Abbey, took a while to talk the better half into it - she took it badly when a couple of years ago we ended up camping in snow!

But as they say - "There's no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing!"

I've almost given up. All the campsites that I had in mind near my area seem to be fully booked for this weekend... and it's not even Easter yet! Camping seems to have become too popular...might have to flog the caravan and start going B&B

...I even tried the CC site at Devizes...got them crammed in there like sardines apparently

Eeek Bob, worried now as we are off to Devizes in the morning.

We usually use the CC late availability page on their website and then work out where to go.  Just had a look Bob and the CC have loads of sites with spaces for Saturday night.

Rofl...it was your fault I couldn't get a pitch then!!

I'm not a member of CC but Devizes apparently take any old riff-raff...bit disappointed because I was looking forward to checking out their wardens
