Early spring cycle camping

[jimlews]

Camped out* last night in the freeze.
Forecast was for -4 but I don't think it went much below zero.
* In a garden admittedly to test some stuff, not in the wilds.

Was perfectly snug.

Do tell what you were testing.

snugpak scorpion 2 tent.
A snugpak sleeping bag that should be good to well below that temp but I suspect isn't
lifeventure thermal lining
snugpak paratex lining though I don't think this is claimed to add any warmth
vango 4 season sleep mat - cheap but again I suspect not as good as claimed.
karrimor Z-mat thing - cost me between a fiver and a tenner - can't remember exactly
snugpak sleeping hat.

Some good news, thanks!
Although I tend to stick to the Equinox (March 20th this year) as my marker. Perhaps you're more of a sky-half-light than sky-half-dark guy compared to me

well I think spring can be quite variable, Me and my son got caught out. We were expecting a bit of snow.
Had to de snow the bikes as well..

I spent every Easter of my teenage years camping. Scouts at first and then climbing. My bag was kapok at first, but I was young and tough!
I particularly remember a trip to Glencoe. Coming down off the hill to a tent was a bit comfortless, and the Clachaig Hotel Bar was unheated.
