Camping Equipment For The UK
from: TRBDifferent weather conditions require different sorts of camping equipment. UK weather can be very unpredictable and so the best way to deal with it is to go prepared. Always make sure that you have listed everything that you think you will need while you are on your trip.
The first thing you should check before buying a tent is that it is made from fully waterproof material. You don't want to be woken up by a deluge of water because your tent was not up to coping with a heavy rainfall.
Take plenty of layers of clothing. That way you can always take some off if it is warm. If you have plenty of layers then you are also prepared in case it turns cold. Cooler weather, especially in the evenings is more likely to happen if you go late in the season.
UK campers who decide to go camping at the end of summer will find that the evenings can get very cold. Make sure that you account for the cold and damp when you make your list of camping equipment.
September can be very changeable so it's best to be prepared. Don't forget to include some extra bedding in your camping equipment. UK evenings really do cool off in September. Buy the best sleeping bag that you can afford, one with a hood if possible. Use a sleeping pad under your sleeping bag, they're inexpensive and make a good buffer between you and the cold ground.
It's a good idea to pitch your tent away from the direction of the wind. Giving yourself that extra bit of shelter will go a long way to offset cold, windy nights. Take an extra blanket as well as your sleeping bag and sleeping pad. If you wake up because you are cold then add an extra layer of clothing. You can always remove it or open your sleeping bag a bit if you get over heated.
Have a hot drink before you settle down, and don't forget that old favorite the hot water bottle when you're drawing up your list of camping equipment. UK countryside can be very unforgiving of unwary travelers so make sure that you are well prepared before setting off.
Add a woolly hat and socks to your camping equipment. Camping equipment UK stores are full of both items. When your extremities are warm it's easier for the rest of you to feel warm and then you can be ready to enjoy the next day. Even if the days are cooling off you will likely be involved in activities that will keep you warm anyway.
