ONLY BEEN CAMPING IN SUMMER BUT ARE VENTURING OUT NEXT WEEK WITH 2 KIDS AND WE HAVENT GOT A HEATER ARE WE GOING TO BE FREEZING AT NIGHT WITH JUST SLEEPING BAGS

Hi Lynette

Welcome to the madhouse

firstly depends which end of the country your going

secondly the quality of the sleeping bags dont be fooled into argos bags spend an extra few quid and get some decent bags with comfort levels down to -14 or better.

thirdly the size of the tent the bigger the tent the more air to heat. If it is cold cram as many into a small area as possible it realy does make a difference 12 scxouts in one tent gives off enough heat to grow tomatoes.

wear hats and socks if it gets realy cold and a cotton or similar track suit

dont be put off by cold I have camped in -10 a liitle bit of forethought goes a long way to comfort and your going in the right direction

Im sure you'll have a fantastic time

THANKS FOR THAT. HOPEFULLY WE WILL SURVIVE LOL

I bought my thermals from Millets. They are really soft inside and they have have them in navy and pink for £6.99. They also sell long thermal t-shirts and very thick kids socks for £4.99 for 2.
