So A few of us are doing the Scouts Wales Dragon Award, and the first "challenge" we want to knock off the list is to camp "below 1 degree centigrade". So we reckon this saturday is about our best shot at a low temperature night and we plan a bivvy accordingly.

EDIT: actually my missus would have gone in the bivvy had there been room, but daughter was a bit sniffly and wanted mum in a tent with her...

Good pics.

In cold temperatures, you can put your boots inside your sleeping bag.
That way they're warm to put on in the morning and prevents the laces problem.
