  1. We did last weekend. we camped at Coopers Field in Edale. it was proper cold but toasty in the van thanks to a hookup and fan heater. The Nags Head pub was pretty welcoming too. We had a brilliant time including Mother's Day breakfast in the cafe on Sunday. Proper family fun, and we even watched The Love Bug on the iPad which felt about perfect.

  2. Nice one! Winter camping well done for using the van! Many are too scared to drive them in winter- should they dissolve on salty roads! ;-)

  10. I'm sure the curry repercussions will keep the van warm and toasty :confused:

  13. only did Dub Freeze was a bit too mild this time but a lovely sunny sunday.. only got bus types on my list next, hopefully a bit warmer by then.
    typical innit you go camping in freezing weather and your ok, and you go on a cruise in warmer climes and end up with pneumonia,
     
  14. I would just avoid smoking or it could end badly

  15. I can't imagine it being fun without heating but proper or fan heater and camping at this time of year is really nice. We also got a poptop insulator from Proud to Pop and one of those nice external cab window covers from Bromsgrove Auto trimmers which made a pretty big difference too. My daughter had to take her jumper off after a bit as she was getting too warm in the bus!
     
  16. Camped in a tent at the spring dub show a few weeks ago:thumbsup:

    Spring camp at dents coming up soon and im looking forward to it even if we are in a tent again

    but Easter weekend at Camperfest at Chester there will be no heater :eek:

  20. You're all mentalists. I want at least two news presenters to use the word "heatwave" before I set up camp. ;)
