Gooday all
Have had lots of replies re the sleeping bag drama with advise ranging from
get better sleeping bags through to stay home or get a caravan or place an
electric blanket into the bag, connected to an inverter and a car battery.
The consensus appears to be that it is best to have two or three different
capability sleeping bags each for different circumstances, a good cold
weather sleeping bag "will" cost a lot more than an average bag but is worth
the cost, a thicker self inflating style matress under the sleeping bag is
necessary in cold weather, if necessary use quilts or blankets over the
sleeping bag.
Over the years we have had lots of ordinary sleeping bags and with the kids
lots of blankets and quilts as well, it is not as if we are completely
unfamiliar with camping and cold weather, but occasionally we forget and get
caught out. So we do plan to eventually get ourselves good sleeping bags and
are now much better prepared for the purchase.
Thanks everybody for your advice and humour. Good birding to you all.
