I have no tenting experience so I cannot offer any advice I'm afraid,

No doubt you will get a reply shortly from somebody with experience

Without wanting to sound rude, I think you are on the wrong website.

For us we just turn e heating up, the only cold thing will be the beer.

As for the tenting, my experiences are not good but they do create memories that you will laugh about in years to come, so just go ahead and do it.

If this will be your first time in a tent I think you'll be amazed at how cold it will be, especially this weekend take hats and or balaclavas. Pitch up where there is plenty of shelter. Take plenty of spare clothes. But the best of luck to you.

Keep coming towards Wexford and carry on to Rosslare Harbour and get on the boat to Cherbourg turn right and drive for a couple of days and you'll be grand. Nice and warm. :hots: :hots:

You could get a sickener at this time of year. Be patient, wait for the slightly warmer weather, your lady will thank you for it. The kids will love regardless of the weather, but if one of you is not having fun.........

If they did they probably are as we stayed down that direction last night and it was very mild and there were quite a few tents on the site we were at.
