We "camp" all year round .. I've not been home for New Year for 8 years ... but then again I tow my sleeping/cooking/reading/drinking/showering  facilities behind me  

Here Here, DO NOT MENTION THE WORD CAR***N though.... It upsets a tractor driver (You know who you are   )....  It's called a Towable Home...

A bothy is a wooden stalkers hut, out on the highland estates.  Normally used by hunting party's to get out of the weather and have a brew and partake of a poshe pique nique of fingerfood and swap tales of derring doo and all that...

Us locals use them, with permission of the estate owners, to overnight in when hiking over estate lands, especially in winter.  Cracking stuff, if you get a good one....

check this - http://su.nott.ac.uk/~pineappl/pmwiki2/pmwiki.php?n=Main.BothysBagged - though not all are this wonderfull.....

I can heartily recommend this Bothy Restaurant & Bar He even has a telly & heater outside for the 'unclean! ' We've had some fantastic meals there.

Apart from the temperature/weather, don't forget that it goes dark early, so you'll either be spending a very long time in the hostelry or you need a proper lantern - worth investing in if you're serious.

Those that made it to the lakes will know that when Mrs TheBoy comes camping, she doesn't like to get cold.  We're talking Duvets, Sleeping bags, blankets, the lot.  Even then, we've got bloody cold before, even in Sept (did get a frost that year, in Torquay!).  For night, you need lots of layers under you as well as on top, and need to be off the ground.  Fires help in evening/morning, but not really during the night if its that cold.  Lots of layers of clothing to sleep in as well.

We had some hot soup in a flask as well, so if that cold, at least that was warming.

If it gets to freezing, you have to be careful about your breath causing ice formation around mouth/nose.

Hi Guys,

Does anyone here have any experience of winter camping? I think it sounds like a fantastic idea, it's something I've always wanted to do, and if I can get the time off, I might see if I can persuade Maria to come to Scotland with me in January for ten days.

Recommendations for kit etc would be most welcome. We have a good four seasons tent, need to get better sleeping bags for those conditions though. Have portable camping cooker, and all the camping cutlery. Also water carrier and decent torches.

Also need to make considerations for the dogs, can't have them getting cold. Maybe a short kennel stay if needsbe.

There is lots of information on Google. Anyone ever done this?

I do, a nice warm hotel, meals cooked for you and a bar
