... I shall test my endurance to the cold in full!
The past couple of nights had been relatively mild.
However, it is freezing tonight. The sky is clear and there will be a very hard frost for certain!
I am typing this with a fleece blanket over 3 layers of clothing, which includes thermal base layer.
My legs are feeling the cold, and I shall put on some thermals soon.
The heater is on full already, however, I can feel the cold air descending from the top of the tent! So I shall probably wear gloves soon!
At least it is dry, as it would be very miserable had it be cold as well as wet!
My next door neighbour in a tent does not have sufficient heating, and he slept fully clothed last night, and used his suitcase stove as heater, inside a tent!!! 
I lent him my spare gas heater. OK, officially, it should not be used inside a tent, however, it is a lot safer than using a stove as a heater!!!
Thank goodness I have an electric under-blanket tonight, as well as a spare fleece blanket or two!
I must refrain from drinking too much before I go to bed, in case I have to make a trip to the toilet block in the middle of the night! 
Wish me luck!
And yes, I am enjoying this btw. Had a wonderful day walking along the beach with the pooch that loves the sand!
Not sure if I would do it again though, only time will tell! At least I know I have sufficient gear for cold weather camping, in case I find someone as mad or stupid as me in the future!!!  |

Pearl darling, I'm sorry but I have to say this... I think you're bloody mad, lol. I can't stand being cold, and camping on a night like this to me is crazy. Take care and keep warm, grab another body to share your bed with for heat! (preferably male and hot) |

Eh, I am in a tent, a nylon one, and not a cosy canvas one, in the middle of a campsite in South Devon, and not in the comfort of my own home!  |

I grabbed something that is hot, the gas heater I lent to my neighbour!
One heater was not enough tonight, so I had to get it back.
Hopefully, he'll be able to cope without it. Mind you, he was kind enough to give it back to me, and reminded me that it is mine in the first place! |

I'll be fine, don't worry. The electric under-blanket and the heater will keep me and the pooch warm through the night!
And I shall remember to wear my hat!  |

"Good luck!
And I though you were one of the sensible ones!
Was it a bet you lost?
LOL
Have a great time (and let us know how bad it was!) LOL
"
.
Nah, no one would bet against me doing anything stupid!!!
I like camping, and would like to extend my camping "season" beyond Jun to Sep.
Hence I thought if I could do it in Dec, then I should be able to do it anytime during the year, that's all! |

He is still with us.
He "should" come prepared, as he is not a newbie to camping!
He resisted from getting some proper camping gear for some time now, so it is time he gets some!
Fancy taking a bulky convection heater to a campsite, that does not generate much heat, and his sleeping bag is 3-season tops if that much! |

"camping in this weather would be my worse night mare, i just couldn't do.
pearl hun grab the man from next door like someone else said, hope the pooch has a coat on as well, as long as your enjoying yourself hun let us know first thing as soon as you can keep warm "
.
I'll rather sleep with the pooch than my next door neighbour to be honest!
The pooch is fine, he has a nice fleece coat on, and is fast asleep next to my feet, bless him!
Don't worry, I'll be fine! |

I don't do hardcore camping, need my creature comforts for certain!
Besides, I am a girl and a wooze and am not afraid to admit it, so there! |

Excuse me, caravan, the dark side????? Whatever do you mean?? lolol
But modern trailer tents look pretty good and of course you don't need a 'big un' to tow them!
Hope you're surviving!! lol |

I am fine, thanks.
Next door has packed up and gone home a day early.
Thank goodness for that, as he was beginning to bore me with his whinging/moaning etc...
He is obsessed about keeping his tent dry and clean inside, to the point of being anal IMHO!
A tent is not for show, it is to be used, and being used = getting it dirty IMHO!
-4 deg C here tonight, so I'd better wrap up warm!
Must do as much packing as possible tonight, as I shall be striking camp early tomorrow morning! |

Of course, I am not that stupid!
Got a fan heater and an electric under-blanket, as well as a gas heater, plus a 13 tog duvet, with a sleeping bag opened up on top, so it is very cosy! |
