Today the temp is -10 at noon and I am NOT a cold weather camper. I have the gear in plenty, but it is for emergency use only as far as I am concerned. Cold is something I endure, not enjoy.
Si if I were in GB I am sure I would be waiting for the solstice and planning a trip to some stone circle to insure summer was returning. But even at the crack of spring I would be booking a hotel stay and not camping.
In the UK most camp sites do not open until easter, the problem here is not the cold but waterlogged ground, after a wet winter it’s not unusual for opening to be delayed even longer.
