Camping in Scotland over the winter

Post by Negativegravity »

How cold does it get around Nov/Dec in the camper? Is it bearable with the thermo pads in windows, duvet and hot water blanket? Thinking about buying a propex, but trying tI decide if it's worth it!

It gets cold but its not the arctic like proper southerners think(ice on cars etc last few mornings, and snow last month up north means Scottish winter has been around for ages already). Blanket, hottie (bottle or lady) and a coffee/tea/whisky will make the night comfortable - when you open the door in the morning it will all become clear why you decided to do it :ok

Excellent! Thinking of Isle of Skye around the 12th-16th Nov! At least I can save on the propex now and spend that on waxoyl!

Cheers!
